A new rumor suggests that Apple has found a way to abandon the plastic strip that is found on the iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus.
Although most Apple devices are often praised for design, thanks to a one-piece design, the plastic strips that Apple has included to improve the reception of radio waves were not to the liking of everyone.
However, a new patent filed by Apple suggests that the company has found a way around it, so that future iPhone could keep their all-metal chassis, without it to be spoiled by a little plastic.
Plastic not so fantastic
The patent describes the combination of materials such as metal oxides to create a new composite metal material that looks like and has a hit similar to metal, but will pass through radio waves. This would mean that future iPhone could retain their high end look while metal, without compromising data reception.
The patent should not only apply to iPhone. In other words, Macs and other Apple devices could benefit from this feature. Apple suggests that the new material could be used to the trackpad on the new MacBook Pro, and would have a completely smooth, unified chassis.
If all patent does not end with devices or launched in the real world technologies, for all those who hate plastic strips on the chassis of the iPhone 6, they will be happy to learn that Apple has perhaps solution for its next flagship.
