Apple could prohibit you from taking a photo at a concert
I'm sure you've herd "Put that away!" "It's not time for that!" " If I see that again it's gone!" from your parents, etc telling you to put your phone away. Well Apple may do that at the next concert you go to.
You've probably never though about it like this but imagine your Taylor Swift. Your onstage doing a performance and everything's going your way. Then all of a sudden you look at the crowd and they are ALL on their phones. Snapping, tweeting, posting, sending, and even selling. It's like their not even there and artists don't like it. Many artists ask their guest to puts the phones down and enjoy the moment, but that doesn't stop some.
Apple has taken this into consideration and wants to find a solution. They patented a device back in 2011. This was a device that the artist could set up and would send infrared signals into the crowd. When these signals reached an Apple device it would disable the camera, meaning no photos or videos. This could also produce a watermark on the footage if someone managed to get any.
Sense this was patented in 2011, it's unclear whether Apple will still go through will this product. What do you think? Is this an invasion to our rights? Let us know in the comments below.
