In the future,Twilight the Porno and Other XXX Parodies you might be able to grab your iPhone and control it from any angle. Touchable, scrollable input spots on the phone's backside could revolutionize the device, according to a new patent.
Apple was recently granted the patent, which describes a super space age-sounding "quantum tunneling" material that could eliminate the need for physical buttons and bring touch control to just about any surface.
SEE ALSO: Future iPhones and iPads could have stretchy screensThe quantum tunneling material uses complicated electron exchanges to create additional touch controls. Apple's patent starts off by describing a design for an iPhone case with touch capabilities on the back (seen in the figure below), but the tech could also someday be integrated into the phone itself.

The patent application was filed back in 2015 (which explains the iPhone mockup's headphone jack—R.I.P.) but it was finally approved this week and spotted by Patently Apple.

This is purely speculative tech for now, so we might never actuallysee it as part of an iPhone in the future. But for everyone who wants to scroll through their News Feeds from the backs of their phones, here's to hoping.
