Concert Filming Deterrent
Attend a concert today, and your view will almost always be obstructed by someone holding up their smartphone to take videos or photos while simultaneously ignoring what’s going on in front of them. It turns out Apple came up with an idea to snuff out that obnoxious behavior.
Back in 2016, Apple was awarded a patent for a system that would prevent iPhone users from recording videos at concerts. It would use infrared signals to send messages to your phone that tell it to disable recording. It’d also piss a lot of folks off, but this is one way to remove the temptation of capturing a memory on your smartphone.
