Apple is always looking for new ways to distinguish iOS from the pack and today Apple introduces us to a number of new GUI gestures and metaphors that are fun and Kooky – if not creatively insane. The first one describes the notion of “digging a hole” in your interface that will allow you to drop a file into it quickly or act as a garbage bin or other uses.

The image above shows a section of the patent describing the ability to create a 3D globe by circling various elements, as well as the ability to “pour” files from one device to another. We’ve seen similar functionality in other apps and operating systems, but these are definitely two features that could highly benefit iOS as native features. Another interesting section of the patent that could easily be integrated into iOS in the near future is the ability to securely delete files by virtually shredding documents via a gesture (image below).
