Macrumor has dug up more iPhone patents that were submitted by Apple. I am dead sure that the future iPhones will rule the netbook and mobile phone markets worldwide and that for a long long time. Anyways let me quickly share these 3 new patents for iPhone:

Haptic Tactile Feedback – Apple has acknowledged that despite the many advantages of the iPhone’s multi-touch screen, a lack of tactile feedback remains its biggest disadvantage:

Apple proposes including a grid of piezoelectronic actuators that can be activated on command. By fluctuating the frequency of these actuators, the user will “feel” different surfaces as their finger moves across it. [patent info]

Fingerprint Identification as an Input Method – This patent application suggests the detection of a user’s individual fingerprints as an input method. This could then be used to produce specific functions depending on which finger is being used.

Instead of requiring the user to find a button on the touchscreen, the use of different fingers alone could trigger different commands. [patent info]

RFID Reader – There could be dual use of a touch screen as an RFID reader.Apple suggests that the an RFID antenna can be placed in the touch sensor panel itself, allowing it to also be used as a RFID reader.

As RFID tags become more prevalent, this could add a very useful function to future touch screen devices. [patent info]
