Alan, an ardent smartphone enthusiast and a veteran writer at PhoneArena since 2009, has witnessed and chronicled the transformative years of mobile technology. Owning iconic phones from the original iPhone to the iPhone 15 Pro Max, he has seen smartphones evolve into a global phenomenon.

is thinking by looking at its latest patent applications. Keep in mind that just because Apple applies for a patent doesn't mean that it definitely plans on using the invention or innovation being protected by the patent if one is received. According to Apple patent experts, Apple has filed for a patent on an interesting concept that would allow iPhone users to swap out the rear panel on their phones for a replacement panel offering different features.

If a replacement rear panel contains additional cameras, such a panel could include"a lens, an image sensor, and associated electronics to facilitate image capture." Another interesting possibility is a supplemental rear panel with a touchscreen display with a high-resolution color display or a low-resolution monochrome display.

As we've said, just because Apple files an application with the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office it doesn't mean that it will be awarded a patent. Last year, Apple was granted 2,536 patents in the U.S., up from the 676 it received back in 2011.
