The smartphone with metal casing — this is not as cool as it was just a year ago, because now aluminum sheath occurs even in the budget segment. Now in fashion glass, and the new flagship Apple iPhone 7s may be one of the first smartphones in the world with a fully glass sheath. This information came from a well-known analyst Ming-Chi Kuo (Ming-Chi Kuo).
To the words of this specialist is always worth a listen, as there was not a single case where his predictions about Apple technology did not come true. It should be noted that the glass body can get Apple iPhone 7s which will arrive only next year, while the normal seventh “IPhone”, whose announcement is scheduled for this fall, will receive the familiar metal sheath. And Yes, we are talking not about the plastic, on top of which is installed protective glass: Apple iPhone 7s will be all glass, although it is unknown how it will look in the end.
But it is easy to assume that the device will be even more fragile than Apple iPhone 6 Plus, which, recall, bends as if made of foil. Of course, a glass case will be much heavier than aluminum, but Apple has already figured out how to compensate for the increase in weight: it will start to install on their phones new OLED screens with very thin plastic backing that Samsung will start shipping it in may 2017, according to a recently signed agreement.
