<Apple has a patent for this exact tech designed to “prevent and/or alleviate contaminant ingress.”>
This is a pretty sad day that sonething like this can be patented..
Anything wrapped in a cover can “prevent and/or alleviate contaminant ingress”
Does any patent office in the world really think nobody has thought of this before?
- skygazer 8y agoThe patent [0] does seem a bit more extensive than just wrap it in a membrane. It discusses using venting/gas pressure (from depressing the key) to expel debris, for instance.

- JustSomeNobody 8y agoSad because the patent wouldn't have been needed in the first place if they didn't feel the need to go so thin.
