Apple really wants to make ‘Slofie’ a thing

Apple has applied for a US trademark on 'Slofie', potentially giving the company control over the word's usage.

"Slofie is the term for selfies recorded in slow-motion at 120fps. The iPhone maker does define slofie as "downloadable computer software for use in capturing and recording video."

The trademark is likely meant to stop other companies from branding their own camera features with the slofie terminology, as the feature is currently exclusive to the iPhone 11, The Verge reported on Wednesday.
