“Secure Magnet” is one of Apple’s new patent applications. It works in quite a similar way as the fingerprint-recognized devices: each cellphone or tablet will be built with a magnet that operates a switch, and it will only be activated when a “correlated” magnet inside a key-fob touches it. Once this patent application is applied in producing new Apple devices, the company is intended to protect your private information in a more efficient way. But now, we may still need to wait for years to use the “Secure Magnet”, since Apple offers no information on when this application will be used.
