Apple is reportedly looking to ditch its MacBook butterfly switch keyboards.
The American tech firm is supposedly set to unveil red iPhone 8 and 8 Plus models this week.
It looks like Apple is still serious about exploring the idea of some kind of fully virtual keyboard for its notebooks or perhaps an entirely new hybrid device. That is if a freshly updated patent is anything to go by. This isn't a new patent because Apple first filed a patent for a MacBook with a full virtual keyboard way back in 2011, and what Patently Apple has just spotted is a continuation application for that patent which adds new claims, and shows that Tim Cook’s firm is still actively exploring the concept.
Intel's Compute Stick, an entire PC crammed into an HDMI stick that fits in the palm of your hand, is nothing short of a landmark in computing. Fifty years of Moore's Law, which states that the number of transistors that can be crammed onto an integrated circuit doubles every two years, has resulted in a little plastic stick that plugs into any HDMI-equipped TV or computer display, transforming it into a full-fledged Windows 8.1 PC.
