I want iPhones to have screens that adjust for bad eyesight. My beloved iPhone became useless in the last years until I can get out my reading glasses. All those awesome smartphone features suddenly worth shit.
it will happen to YOU as well! (dramatic music)
Kind of hard to fix that, since it's a fundamental feature of optics (light vergence increases the closer you get to an object). The only thing a phone can do is increase the font size lol. Otherwise you have to wear glasses of some sort, or contacts.
Apple could let you type in your eye prescription and make the screen automatically adjust when it detects you're not wearing glasses.
It would have to be a physical plate or film in the phone. I doubt they would add moving parts.
Couldn't they simply blur the screen in a way that counters the user's blurred vision?
Optics doesn't work like that :D
