Apple’s Vision of a Solar Cell iPhone Supports Prototype in the Wild – Patently Apple

One of Apple’s more interesting patents kicking off 2010 revealed their aspirations of engineering solar powered media players. In Apple’s second patent on this very subject we get to peek at more of the detailing behind their engineering vision. Yet it boils down to two main points. Firstly we see that Apple envisions utilizing solar cell technology right across the board from iPod to iPad. Secondly and perhaps most intriguingly, we see Apple detailing how they’ll be able to integrate cell panels beneath their multi-touch surface as opposed to it being applied to the top surface of their media players as previously thought.
