New Apple software reduces dropped calls

Link: Apple Patents Cell Phone Software To Reduce Dropped Calls

Apple has won a patent for a cell phone “accessory detector” that helps battle dropped calls. The accessory detector has two functions. It supposedly ensures that the various different radios on cell phones don’t interfere with each other.

In addition, it also supposedly ensures that devices attached to phones also don’t cause any interference or dropped calls. “There is a need for techniques that ensure the integrity of the wireless communication with a mobile device when an accessory is coupled with the mobile device,” Apple wrote in its patent application.

Interesting. Quite what it does, or how it works – who knows. Perhaps it will feature in the upcoming iPhone?
