iPhone 8 – the glass case detailed by Apple partners

The iPhone 8 will have a glass case produced using a manufacturing process similar to that used for Samsung Galaxy screens for the past 2 years.

iPhone 8 is going to bring a major change for the design line encountered so far in the case of iPhone terminals launched by the Apple company. More specifically, the iPhone 8 will have a screen that covers the entire front panel of the product and a glass case, which will facilitate wireless charging using Apple's proprietary technology.

The glass case of the iPhone 8 will be produced by the Biel Crystal company, an old supplier of components for Apple and those from Samsung. Those from Biel already produce the protective panel for the Apple Watch screen, but also the sapphire glass for the iPhone camera, and the iPhone 8 will have a case that will benefit from the technologies from Biel.

Apple is obliged, according to the rumors so far, to use a glass case for the iPhone 8 in order to offer a wireless charging system. It seems that Apple does not want to use an aluminum case for the iPhone 8, because wireless charging would not be as efficient, something that other manufacturers have discovered so far.

The case for iPhone 8 will be manufactured using a production method used for the last two models of Samsung Galaxy terminals. More precisely, the glass is heated to 800 degrees and placed between two molds, the shape being given by the application of this pressure after the glass has been heated to very high heat, and this is how we know how the iPhone 8 case will be made.

This glass case for iPhone 8 will return the design to what Apple company offered until 2012, when it used aluminum for the first time in the case. If the iPhone 8 did not have a wireless charging system, then there is a possibility that its new case would have been made of aluminum and not of glass, as it will be now.

"According to the industry on Tuesday, Apple has confirmed that it has adopted glass in the back of its iPhone case. This glass case is supplied by China Biel. Glass processing equipment is supplied by domestic enterprises. Domestic glass processing equipment maker – China Biel – Apple’s supply chain structure.”

Many people were happy to hear that the iPhone 8 will have a glass case, even if it is much more fragile than an aluminum one. If it will also bring wireless charging, then iPhone 8 will be received all the better by fans who have been waiting for it for more than a year, at this point.

  1. Parca seamana a ceva. Am mai vazut asta undeva. Sa vedem acum cum fanii Iphone isi vor sterge comentariile in care blamau sticla. Eu as fi ramas la metal care se cojeste daca eram in locul Apple. Doar din orgoliu.
