A new patent awarded to Apple helps iPhone users accurately employ the touch screen even when it is wet.
Modifying functionality of an electronic device during a moisture exposure event
Apple plans to have the iPhone screen adjust to the moisture whether it is light rain, a steady drenching, or if the handset is being used underwater. False taps on the screen generated by the liquid will be detected by the technology listed in the patent and eliminated. On-screen controls could change accordingly with buttons growing larger while also moving farther apart from other buttons to improve the accuracy of pressing the right button when the screen is wet.
