According to recent reports, the coming iPhones might be way more durable than the current generations. This improvement in the durability department might surface in the coming years. So fans might need to wait for a while, but the fact that this is a possibility makes a lot of difference in the iPhone community.
For years now, iPhone users have got familiar with the glass back of their devices. This design makes the devices look cool, but it also poses a threat to the users as they can easily break their devices. Once broken, it will cost a lot to fix a new glass back on their iPhones, for this reason, most users stick to using protective cases.
So, instead of relying on a case to protect your phone, Apple seems to be on a mission to make your iPhone more durable. This can be seen from a recent super strong glass patent the company has been granted. Development of the glass might not take place immediately, but the patent shows Apple’s desire to work on the project.
A recent patent shows off super strong glass technology for coming iPhones
The folks at Creative Bloq recently drew the attention of netizens to a new Apple patent. This patent shows off a new type of abrasion-resistant housing that Apple might be bringing to its devices. From the patent diagram, it is clear that the technology is displayed on a smartphone-sized device.
However, the tech company might make use of this glass technology on other of its products as well. This means that devices like future iPads, MacBooks, and other Apple products might also benefit from this technology. The available information on this technology is rather sparse, but there are a few takeaways that one can glean.
One such takeaway has to do with the result of the entire patent. Producing this super strong glass involves the disposal of abrasion-resistant materials into a mould cavity. The disposal method will make these materials interlock within the cavity, hence improving the strength.
Apple calls this disposal method “Spatial composite” and the mould comes with cavities with up to 100-micron spacing between themselves. The available patent images do not give away the details of the technology, but some experts are putting a thing or two together. By doing this, they are trying to throw more light on this new Apple patent that might make the coming iPhones more durable.
Apple won’t give away the details of this patent to prevent the competition from working on their ideas. All that is available is that this technology will help make your future Apple device more durable and abrasion-resistant. More details on this patent and the technology it showcases will be made available in the coming months.
