Apple’s newest iDevice is a paper bag

Apple’s latest patent points to a paper bag being its latest iDevice, reports The Register.

Specifically, the patent calls for:

a bag, such as a retail shopping bag … may be formed entirely of paper, with the potential exception of adhesives for fixing together portions of the bag.

This can help to reduce any environmental impact from production, use, and disposal of the bag. The bag may be formed of a container and a handle.

In truth, the reason Apple seem so keen on patenting the bag is its high biodegradability (being made 60% of recycled paper) and its complex design which includes  “folds or gussets at its corners or edges”.

The bag is reportedly already being used in Apple stores.

We have no doubt it will be the best-looking, most technologically impressive and expensive paper bag you have ever seen.
