AN APPLE PATENT THAT WILL MAKE YOU TAKE SOCIALLY DISTANT GROUP SELFIES

BY THE WAY, THEY FILED THE PATENT LONG BEFORE THE CORONAVIRUS PANDEMIC

When it comes to staying ahead of the competitors, Apple knows what it’s doing. The company has filed for a patent for socially distant group selfies even before the coronavirus pandemic hit the world. How will it work? Read on to know!

Reliable sources have revealed that Apple has secured a patent for synthetic group selfies which translates to socially distant group selfies this week. It means that if you own the gadget with this feature, you will be able to click a picture together even if you are not actually together.

As per the patent application of socially distant group selfies, it can be assumed that you, as a user, will be able to invite other people to take a group selfie with you. After that, Apple’s software will piece your and your loved ones’ independently taken photos to form a single image. The composting process would work for live streaming images and recorded videos as well

All the people who participate in the socially distant group selfies will have the option of keeping the original as well as the group selfie. You can choose either when you need a good profile picture. You can also use the editing features of the software to remain in the limelight. For instance, if you think your friend is stealing all the attention, you can relegate them to the background while putting yourself front and centre. Remember, other users can do the same to you as well (It’s quite brilliant, innit?).

The socially distant group selfies patent was filed in July 2018, which means that the idea of socially distant group selfies is not inspired by the current COVID-19 situation. It is unclear whether the feature of socially distant group selfies, if it ever becomes a reality, would be exclusive to iPhones or iPads or both.

Here’s how the new socially distant group selfies work:

The patent for socially distant group selfies isn’t the only thing the competitors should be worried about. Apple’s foldable iPhone design, whose concept video is already out and is liked by people from all over the world, is also a reason people will love the brand.
