Apple has received patent approval for technology that disables your phone's video and camera while in concerts and other public settings.
I hate cell phones at concerts just as much as the next guy that hates them at a movie. I also realize certain artist have tried everything for the audience not to use them. But Patently Apple were first to point out "Apple"was granted approval for a patent on complicated technology that could and would disable a phone's camera and video capabilities in certain circumstances. Apple plans on a small sensor on or near the stage that would admit infrared signals that would lock your phone's settings.
I hate cell phones at concerts, hell I hate them in almost every public setting. This new technology would force fans to live in the moment and could lead to more dancing. But I did not pay 800$ for my phone just for Apple to disable features when it's profitable. I think more concerts should try asking before the show. It works good at Dylan shows and movies in most neighborhoods. We will keep you updated to this potential youtube killer.
