These technologies are not original to Apple, but they are deeply marked by Apple
|
When it comes to Apple, the first keywords that come to your mind are definitely Mac and iPhone. That's right, as a pioneer in the field of consumer electronics, Apple magically combines technology and elegance, redefines thin and light notebooks, and uses touch screens instead of buttons to make some seemingly difficult black technologies become reality. In fact, there are not only Mac and iPhone, but also many black technologies that Apple pioneered and became industry benchmarks. Apple makes dreams shine into reality. Next, let's take stock of the black technology products that Apple has successfully promoted. Mouse For a long time after the birth of computers, there was only a keyboard but no magical thing like a mouse. Almost any operation required cumbersome instructions to be entered through the keyboard. In the 1960s, Douglas Engelbart (the father of the mouse) who worked at the Stanford Research Institute began to seek ways to make computer operations easier and replace cumbersome instructions, and the mouse was born. The mouse was originally used only for experimental research and was applied to the Alto computer system of Xerox, and was not known to the public. In 1979, Jobs was invited to watch Alto and the software running on the system, and was shocked by the operating system with a mouse. He realized that this technology would become a trend of future development, and immediately poached some technical personnel from Xerox to bring this function into the Apple system. In 1984, Apple's milestone product Macintosh was launched. Macintosh and the equipped mouse complement each other, bringing Apple a lot of income. At the same time, this computer also brought the mouse into thousands of households. The subsequent rise of OS/2 and Windows systems also widely promoted the mouse, making the mouse gradually become the standard configuration of computers. Multi-Touch screen Apple redefined the mobile phone with the iPhone, and the most attractive thing is the revolutionary operation method. Multi-Touch is translated as multi-touch, and this technology is the cornerstone of Apple's elimination of mobile phone keyboards. Although many mobile phones, MP4s, etc. were equipped with touch screens before, they were basically single-touch and slow-responding resistive screens, which were far from multi-touch. Multi-touch is undoubtedly more convenient and user-friendly. Multi-touch technology began with the multi-touch screen that senses index finger pressure invented by the University of Toronto in 1982. In 2007, the first generation of iPhone with multi -touch technology was launched, which set off a smartphone revolution. Apple phones became the most popular mobile phones in the world, and other manufacturers followed suit and launched similar products. Retina display technology compresses more pixels into a screen to achieve a higher resolution, so that the human eye cannot distinguish pixels. iPhone 4 is the first to be equipped with a 327PPI retina screen. It is also 3.5 inches in size, but the resolution of 960x640 is four times that of iPhone 3GS. The popularity of Retina display has made us far away from the era of mobile phones with full screen graininess. Ultra-high precision has become the current development trend. Major mobile phone manufacturers have also launched 2K or even 4K resolution displays to cater to the market. Corning Gorilla Glass In 2007, Apple was about to launch the first generation of iPhone. Jobs wanted to make his baby screen perfectly scratch-proof, and chose Corning as the screen glass supplier against all odds. Corning's first generation of Gorilla Glass became famous in one battle, with good performance in scratch resistance and force strength. The second and third generations of Corning Gorilla Glass strengthen scratch resistance and structural strength, and also make the glass thinner and thinner. The fourth and fifth generations of Gorilla Glass focus on drop performance. When the screen falls from a height of 1.6 meters onto a rough surface, the glass integrity rate reaches 80%. This was a bold attempt by Jobs. Now scratch-resistant Gorilla Glass is widely used in high-end smartphones, tablets and computers. This glass is also used in LCD TVs of many international manufacturers. Metal CNC Processing If you ask what is the hottest body design at the moment, it is undoubtedly the all-metal one-piece design. When it comes to all-metal, CNC has to be mentioned. At present, the all-metal shells of 3C products are basically processed by CNC machines (Computer numerical control machine tools, CNC). CNC has become a must-have equipment for 3C shell manufacturers due to its high efficiency, high precision and stable processing quality. The all-metal one-piece CNC processing technology was first pioneered by Apple. CNC processing requires modeling first, and then programming according to the mold. The body starts with a solid aluminum plate and undergoes complex processes such as cutting and milling. It is conceivable that its cost and yield were high at the time. Now with the maturity of the industrial chain, metal bodies are popular among major mobile phone manufacturers. Touch ID iPhone 5s has received widespread attention since its launch. The first fingerprint recognition system has undoubtedly played a pivotal role. Touch ID has changed the previous cumbersome methods such as passwords and pattern unlocking, bringing a safer and more convenient way of use. Fingerprint recognition is also used in key applications such as payment and shopping, providing a complete solution for payment security. When Apple launched Touch ID, major Android manufacturers followed suit. The fingerprint module has changed from swipe type to press type, and the position has changed from the back to the front. After a lot of tossing, it finally caught up with Apple. Now fingerprint recognition has become a standard feature of mobile phones. Conclusion Apple is constantly changing the world. Looking at the black technology mentioned above, it has now become an industry standard. Apple's forward-looking thinking on user experience is amazing. It is no coincidence that the dream of black technology has become a reality.
