Apple changed the smartphone world back in 2007 with the launch of
the original iPhone, and has been famed for the sleek designs and
innovative features it has provided. The company hasn’t had things all
its own way in recent times though with many once fans becoming
disappointed with the last couple of releases, but an all aluminum
iPhone would be a mistake in many people’s eyes.
According to reports Apple has recently gained the rights to what is
known as microslot antenna technology, which would allow the company to
further reduce the size of the components found inside the iPhone.
The iPhone 5
uses two radio antennas that switch between multiple frequency bands,
but the new technology would allow a series of tiny slots in the
handsets casing to double as the antennae, as long as the casing is made
from a conductive material.
This could mean that future iPhone handsets could be completely
manufactured using aluminum, but shortly after the iPhone 5 was released
owners were reporting
of handsets becoming easily scratched, and raises fears the problem
could be even worse with a handset made completely from the material.
Obviously owners of any smartphone can protect the device with a case
or bumper, but many don’t like to add bulk no matter how minimalist the
product, or cover up those stylish looks. This could lead to any new
iPhone becoming scratched easily unless Apple could come up with some
kind of coating to prevent this.
Do you feel an all aluminum iPhone would be a bad idea?
