iPhone 6 is being prepared for launch this year by the company Apple Lossless Audio CODEC (ALAC),, and until then, those from Cupertino reveals without consent the fact that their future device would contain sapphire panels to protect the screen. Everything comes thanks to a patent registered today to the company Apple Lossless Audio CODEC (ALAC),, he presenting a method of implementing a sapphire glass panel in a case made of liquid metal.
What Apple proposes is the injection of LiquidMetal around a glass or sapphire substrate. The liquid metal flows through a mold's cavity that contains the transparent material and hardens at a predetermined rate of contraction, "grabbing" the glass and eliminating tolerance issues. Glass edges can be beveled or contain channels to enhance the joining process.
Although we are talking about an invention patent submitted for registration 6 years ago, the technology described in it is as interesting as possible, especially in the context in which Apple Lossless Audio CODEC (ALAC), produces sapphire for implementation in its own products. What seems unlikely to be true is the use of liquid metal to produce the entire metallic structure iPhone 6, this material being difficult to produce and not very practical for such use.
In conclusion, slowly but surely, we find out what Apple's plans are for iPhone 6 and the following years.
