Apple apparently he likes to experiment with speakers and his new patent is just a sign of that. According to him, he should Apple probably testing in its secret laboratories an upgraded, advanced version of the hidden speakers that we could find on, for example, the 2nd generation of the iPod touch. Thanks to the new patent, these speakers should offer even better sound than before, and at the same time they would not have to show their presence on the body of the device.
At the same time, the novelty could be used with any electronic device, whether it is iPhone, iPods or Mac computers. Apple however, the patent also mentions a television set as an example, so it is not excluded that sa Apple decides to use these speakers in an iTV or HDTV that he is allegedly preparing. The TV should probably offer minimalistic design and the absence of visible speakers would this miniMalism could have contributed. Apple in this patent lists a large number of compdsonentov and it is therefore obvious that this would be really advanced, high-quality audio technology, ideal for potential televisions.

I see it as ideal for an iMac, if only because it wouldn't work on a TV hung on the wall. 100% and it's not really new to conduct sound through reflection either. Just a different way of storing it.
