The Peripheral Housing case can be manipulated to create feet for an iPad so it can stand on a table without a tilt
The patent shows an Apple Pencil being housed in the case
Apple applies for and receives many patents each year and most of them never see the light of day. Of course, you normally hear about the ones that become a huge hit and never hear a peep about the patents never used. And just because Apple has been awarded a patent for this case, it doesn’t mean that the company is forced to use it.
While this seems like an interesting idea, we can’t imagine Apple revising the design of the iPad in order to work with the case even if it means that the devices can be made thinner by moving the battery and other components inside the peripheral housing from the devices themselves.
