You probably won't like it. Apple has filed a patent for technology that would prevent you from taking photos or videos with your iPhone or iPad at concerts, museums, or anywhere else it might be prohibited.
The patent, filed Tuesday with the United States Patents and Trademark Office and you can see the technical details here.
Apple's patent describes a camera for an iPhone or iPad that can receive encoded infrared signals from transmitters located in public areas and will temporarily disable the device's camera function, preventing photos or video recording for as long as the signal is being transmitted.
The technology patented by Apple is titled 'System and methods for receiving infrared data with camera designed to detect images based on visible light' and was first filed in September 2014.
With this technology, the company wants to help singers, actors and artists prevent illegal photography and free streaming on the internet.
The same technology could also be used by police to restrict smartphone video footage of acts of brutality or protests, or it could even help any government stop photography and video in certain areas.
It's not hard to imagine how a government like North Korea or China could use the technology..
However, we should mention that you don't need to worry too much as companies like Apple and Google are constantly filing patents, but not all ideas are commercially available.
