Electronista reports:

This patent work might be seen in future apple products. Here it is how it works, We know that camera flashes are typically fixed in a single spot on a device, Apple's attempting to patent a flash redirector that could whip them around, letting you frame a dimly-lit picture the way you want and automatically adjust the intensity and direction of the flash to get better results.

The new patent joining the apple's intellectual property is Hand-held capacitive sensor device.

The handheld device uses capacitive sensors to recognize your identity just by the way you hold it, and subsequently personalize the device's buttons and settings to your hand based on your user profile.

The other thing you could grip a handheld with either hand, and it would automatically generate "button zones" under each finger using sensors (or disappearing buttons, perhaps) baked right into the chassis, making cries of "you're holding it wrong" hopefully fade into obscurity.
