Apple gains patent for future iPhones and Apple Watches to act as poisonous gas and CO detectors [U]

As for the "enclosure", an Apple Watch is what's being used in the patent demonstration. Our own Guilherme Rambo keenly pointed out how considering the ease of building your own IoT smoke detector with an Arduino circuit board, it wouldn't be surprising to see the next Apple Watch feature gas-detecting abilities — again, provided water-resistance isn't impaired. Would you like to see a feature like this on your next iPhone or Apple Watch? Update: As numerous readers have pointed out, there's a difference between carbon monoxide (CO) versus carbon dioxide (CO2). As for whether the final release would detect both CO and CO2 remains to be seen, yet for the time being, the patent makes no mention of carbon dioxide, CO2.


Apple seeks tax breaks that will help it make flagship iPhones in India for global sale

Reports that Apple plans to make flagship iPhones in India got another boost today. However, it was reported at the end of last year that Apple planned to have its primary iPhone assembler, Foxconn, make flagship iPhone models in the country. If enacted by the Indian government, the proposals would have two benefits for Apple and other global smartphone brands. The irony, of course, is that Trump started the trade war with China in the hope of persuading companies like Apple to manufacture products in the US. All that he appears to be achieving is promoting plans for moving iPhone production from one foreign country to another.

Apple might start making its own batteries for iPhones and Macs

as informed in Apple has hired Soonho Ahn, a former Samsung executive who worked primarily on lithium-ion batteries and other battery-related technologies, Bloomberg reports. He ran Samsung SDI, which, among other things, supplied Apple with device batteries a few years ago. Bloomberg also reports that Apple is in talks to buy cobalt "directly from miners"—cobalt is needed to make these kinds of batteries. Both revelations suggest that Apple may be looking to make its own batteries rather than source them from other companies. Apple has worked with its suppliers to come up with innovative battery solutions before—for example, the space-saving, L-shaped battery in the iPhone XS.
