Apple revealed Taptic Engine engine for the first time in an hour Apple two years ago -sdr last year-and it was used to send a pulse to those who have the time of your friends or used to feel alerts when they arrive. With the passage of time, Apple has adopted this technique in other organs, such as Macs and recently-Alai iPhone 7. Let us take a closer look to this technology and what it can do.
When Apple wanted to use the engine for any in-clicking the new iPhone it had to remove the entrance of the handset to take advantage of the space that exploit. With this you can add engine click the device and make it waterproof.
Apple used engine you to feel that he had used to complete the thing that he wants by sending the reaction of the device which is simple shaking felt by the user like touching it. So what is the mechanism to do what is the difference before and after its existence?
Pre-engine clicking ..
Most of the smart phone manufacturers use engine vibrations in the name of an ERM acronym for Eccentric Rotating Mass Alasash and its function is to send vibrations to be felt by the user.
ERM engine based on the idea of spinning at very high speed, making it issued vibrations perpendicular to the axis of rotation. In-Alai iPhone 5, for example, the vibrations engine is at the top left and going horizontally. The vibrations issued a vertically which makes them strong in places and weak in other places (yellow arrow).
Apple used the engine vibrations from the ERM kind of all devices for any pre-iPhone 6. Except in organs iPhone 4S-Alai and Alai-iPhone 6 and 6 Plus. It used the engine does the same job which is to convert kinetic energy into electricity, but a completely different mechanism of action and bears the name of LRA an acronym for Linear Resonant Actuator. Apple preferred to drive LRA for ERM can issue because the weak force card up to a half less.
After clicking Drive "Taptic Engine" ..
As we mentioned, the engine clicking basic function is to notice that the user has to complete something. In-Alai Phone 7 Apple canceled Alhom button and has replaced it with an imaginary button, when pressed Alhom button, the engine clicking sensation simulated pressure. That is, if the phone is closed will not be able to click on the button because the engine Alhom clicking does not work.
Not only that, with Apple's iOS 10 allowed the opportunity for developers to gain access to the engine clicking through their applications. For example, it is possible to surf at one of the applications that are used Taptic Engine API, the user feel when you reach the last page like Collide in something.
