Okay, so we’ve heard using an Apple Remote whilst trying to fool no one into believing it’s an iPhone, but apparently, the patent pumpers in Cupertino are getting serious about executing that equation in reverse. According to a recent filing, Apple engineers explain how a mysterious “mobile phone” could be used to control your Mac (and specific applications like iTunes) via built-in Bluetooth, and the wording even mentions specific software that would be tailored to the Mac and handset in order to make it all happen. More specifically, consumers could “use the directional controls on the mobile phone to change listing volume, skip forward and backward, play / pause, etc.,” and while no mention of the forthcoming iPhone is directly made, the allusion here is fairly clear.
