Earlier this year, The Wall Street Journal published an in-depth report highlighting instances of thieves watching iPhone owners enter their passcode...
Kind of hard to fix that, since it’s a fundamental feature of optics (light vergence increases the closer you get to an object). The only thing a phone can do is increase the font size lol. Otherwise you have to wear glasses of some sort, or contacts.
I remember a university project from about 10 years ago, that managed to do exactly that, optical problems notwithstanding. I always hoped it would find its way into the marketplace. But it hasn‘t happened yet. It seems they needed to add an extra layer on top that diminished the screen quality quite a bit. If I could only find that link.

Apple could let you type in your eye prescription and make the screen automatically adjust when it detects you’re not wearing glasses.
It would have to be a physical plate or film in the phone. I doubt they would add moving parts.
Couldn’t they simply blur the screen in a way that counters the user’s blurred vision?
Optics doesn’t work like that :D
