We all know it. From time to time our iPhone a phone call rings, we automatically pick it up and at the “other end of the line” we hear someone trying to force something on us that we can’t imagine our lives without or conduct a survey with us, for the completion of which we will be entered into a draw for a new car with a driver included in the price. Most of us end such calls by firmly tapping the red end call button and then a volley of insults, asking why someone is bothering you with something like that. Sure, there are applications that analyze incoming unknown numbers and immediately inform you whether it is worth picking up or not. But why couldn’t they offer something similar iPhone already "basically"?

According to the new patents that you Apple registered with the US patent office, the apple company is indeed playing with a similar idea. In very simple terms, the whole innovation would be based on a huge database of numbers in which iPhone in the case of a call from an unknown number, it searched for a match and then notified its owner of what exactly it was or rejected the call outright. Of course, many variables would be taken into account in the evaluation, which would aim to eliminate any problems with releasing an unsolicited number or, conversely, withholding a call that could be important.
A similar novelty would certainly be suitable as well Apple Watch with LTE support:

Although the patent is undoubtedly very interesting and would make life more pleasant for many of us, there is one big but. Its functionality requires a certain degree of cooperation with operators who would Applem had to work together precisely because of the database and the internal data in it. Otherwise, creating a similar novelty is almost unrealistic. However, let us be surprised. Maybe Apple will really go this way and in a few months or years we will see a news that will stop all unwanted calls without having to download a third-party application to the iPhone.
The “Pick it up?” app is absolutely perfect. With a huge open database of annoying numbers. Some money well invested :-)
Agreed, this is the absolute basis appka
You don't have to cooperate with operators at all...
Just pick it up? No application. And no more annoying calls.
