The recent advances of Android seem to have forced Apple to find new features to distinguish it from the quite popular getting system. Android took a complete new way of unlocking your phone by using your face as key to unlock your mobile gadget. While the droidish companion already allowed pin code and pattern unlock, the iPhone only provides pin and “slide to unlock”. As android does.
But now Apple is ready to strike back and has added a bunch of new features to it upcoming iPhone 5 S. Adding a sensor to the touch screen that can performed a chemical analysis of substances that touches it allows the iOS to provide a neat new feature: Lick to unlock!
Right, by licking over the screen your phone it can detect if you are the respectful owner of the device. Insider information told us that Apple wanted to release this feature earlier, but hat to fix some simple issues that did not occur in the lab. No one tested the sensor after having lunch.
But Apple would not be called innovative if this would would be the end of the story. The additional “lunch information” is extracted and rendered out of the unlock pattern. But instead is feed into Siri to provider her with additional information of what the owner ate, when and were. This allows Siri to provide more accurate suggestions of restaurants and even can provide you a list of nearest dentists when if thinks appropriate.
We are really looking forward to “unlicking” our phone.
