IT'S a common sight at a concert to see a sea of phones aloft in the air as people record their favourite artist, but under new plans revealed by Apple this could be a thing of the past.
The technology giants have been granted a patent after they developed a system which uses infrared omitters to disable the camera in iPhones at gigs, sporting events and cinemas.
Recently, pop megastar Adele called out a fan at a concert in Italy for setting up a tripod and recording the whole show.
The 28-year-old singer reminded the fan that "this isn’t a DVD, this is a real show."
Adele isn't the only musician who wants people to put their phones in their pockets. In his last gig before his death, Prince warned that anyone filming during his concert would be kicked out.
However, as much as some people despise having their view obscured by camera phones whilst their trying to watch their favourite musicians, others might argue that by recording the gig they can savour the moment.
By recording concerts and big sporting extravaganzas, fans can look back and remember the great time that they had.
So what do you think - should phones be banned at gigs?
