Aside from falls to the hard surfaces, fingerprints are the biggest enemy of touch screen devices. Apple, and other manufacturers, have been fighting this with coatings that wear off after time, but a new patent application filed by Apple shows a new, more efficient way of keeping fingerprints off your gadgets.

The new method of keeping your fingerprints off your iPhone involves a procedure called PSD. The Physical Vapor Desposition technology keeps the oil in your fingerprints off the iPad and iPhone devices.
