[caption id="attachment_354113" align="alignnone" width="720"] 13-inch MacBook with touch bar and M1 chip (2020)[/caption] The patent illustrates technology that introduces a side-mounted display for iPhones, which is reminiscent of 13-inch MacBook Pro touch bars. Unlike current smartphones with curved bezels surrounding the display, Apple is focusing on a separate screen apart from the front. The proposed side display is a narrow screen below the volume rocker and power buttons on the side of an iPhone. How Apple intends to integrate the side-mounted display may vary from notifications, music playback, and even app launching.
