Apple patent suggests future iPhones could feature scratch-proof design
Delhi : Future iPhones are probably resistant to damage! According to reports, Apple has submitted a promising patent that shows their attempts to increase the strength of iPhones, focusing on scratch and dent resistance. According to a recent patent by the USPTO titled "Spatial Composites," this invention describes Apple's investigation of a novel technology that includes fusing elements like metal and ceramic into the iPhones' housing shell.
By using this strategy, Apple hopes to dramatically increase the outer material of the iPhone's scratch resistance and general longevity. The materials may also be formed into a variety of shapes that interlock with one another to give an additional layer of defence against dents and physical impact.
How Apple intends to make iPhones scratch-resistant
According to the patent, Apple has created a "moldable matrix" made up of "abrasion-resistant members" that are far more durable than the materials around them. The patent also included a graphic showing an arrangement of "beads" that are nearly invisible to the human eye, with an average spacing ranging from 10 to 100 microns and being dispersed uniformly in a regular pattern. The graphic particularly highlights how Apple has planned out spaces free of abrasion-resistant materials to protect famous aspects like the Apple logo and camera.
Apple may improve the structural toughness of its iPhones by using these cutting-edge materials and embedding methods. This strategy incorporates potential changes to allow for enhanced hardness without sacrificing flexibility. This modification could apply to other Apple products as well as iPhones.
The new method, according to the patent, may be used with more than only Apple's iPhones, such as watches, tablets, computers, notebooks, music playing devices, and more. This hints that Apple may be preparing for a big change in product design, intending to utilise cutting-edge materials to further improve the robustness of its devices. When will this adjustment be implemented? Given that this is simply a patent and that it may be years before these advances reach the market, it is difficult to determine at this time.
