Future iPhones may be more scratch resistant

Apple is researching how it can for phones Iphone Design a chassis or frame that looks as good and feels as good to consumers as current options, but against scratches And exhaustion have more resistance.

While Apple apparently forgot to sell separate protective cases for iPhones, A patent entitled “Spatial Composites” (Spatial Composites) which means embedding metal or ceramic in the phone chassis for Scratch resistance Is.

Apple in own patent explains:

“Phones, watches, and tablets may come into contact with various surfaces that can damage or wear down the surface of the device. Different typical materials considered for such devices may have different combinations of properties related to strength, appearance, wear resistance, electromagnetic shielding, and the like.”

Apple’s approach to the case of iPhone phones

So as Apple points out, the different materials used in the iPhone’s chassis have different advantages and disadvantages. The iPhone giant explains, for example, that although metal casings are resistant to scratches or breakage, they may interfere with the incoming or outgoing radio signals of the device.

According to its patent, Apple wants to solve these problems Several ingredients like metal or ceramic to make phone frames.

Apple’s patent also includes drawings that show different forms of this “wear-resistant enclosure,” each with different benefits, but the overall goal is the same. Therefore, future iPhones may be more resistant to scratches and wear.

Apple plans to assign its patent to three inventors, including Christopher D. Prest” to present that in the past they proposed to use glass-ceramic components for MagSIF, which transmits data as well as power.
