Man embeds smartphone into prosthetic arm

A fifty-year-old British man has designed a prosthetic arm that will allow a user to install the phone into the arm. He was born without a left forearm and was frustrated at trying to use his iPhone with the use of only one hand. After sharing his idea with a phone store, he was put in touch with a disabilities organization that looked  into the possibility of using his idea.

The phone imbedded into his arm now is a Nokia7. There is a team working on this new endeavor now and they say this probably just the beginning of this type technology. The writer of the article mused that Apple may want to sell an iArm accessory in the future. - Kim Bannister
