Apple’s new iPhone has been expected to come with a totally different design from it siblings. How about an “all glass” machine with a metal frame around? That’s what Apple leak has spotted so far…
Apple’s new iPhone confirmed to come with “All Glass”
If you remember, there was news provided by the world’s most accurate Apple AAPL – 0.06% tipster saying that the company is preparing a handset built with an “all glass” appearance. Actually, it has been causing quite many kinds of feelings. If you’re excited, perhaps the following confirmation from a major Apple supplier will just make you happier. In case of still being doubting, you’ll probably be convinced.
Speaking specifically, at their annual shareholder meeting, Mr. Allen Horng, chairman and chief executive of Catcher Technology – a long-time iPhone chassis maker, said that Apple would introduce an “all glass” iPhone 2017. Yes, it’s gonna use a glass casing reinforced by a metal frame to look more elegant and premium. Moreover, an “advanced processing technology” will also be required.
This somehow reminds us of the Apple’s glass backed iPhone 4 and 4s as well as Samsung’s Galaxy S and Note devices. Though, as a future smartphone, the iPhone in 2017 will surely have to go far beyond them or maybe Apple will have to face many difficulties. Well, we can’t wait to see it in person.
New design means… new price?
Apart from the important announcement above, Mr. Horng also mentioned that “as far as I know, only one [iPhone] model will adopt glass casing next year”. And it has been anticipated to be iPhone 8 Plus or even iPhone Pro since the firm has been predicted to skip “iPhone 7s” moniker due to the iPhone’s 10th anniversary. Price-wise, we think the Apple’s new iPhone will cost a bit more but should not exceed $950. Do you agree?
