Apple could switch to a glass casing for upcoming iPhone
The CEO of a Taiwan-based supplier of iPhone frames predicted the design changes in a shareholder meeting this week. by Kent German @KentGerman.
A Taiwanese iPhone parts supplier has predicted that an upcoming variant of Apple's handset will feature glass casings. . Catcher Technology CEO Allen Horng made the prediction at a shareholder meeting on Thursday, the Nikkei Asian Review reports . Though Catcher currently builds metal frames for iPhones, Horng said he does not expect such a move to impact his business, since an iPhone with a glass casing would still need a durable metal frame inside it. . The iPhone 4 and 4S , introduced in 2010 and 2011 respectively, both had glass backings while retaining metal frames. Apple returned to using metal backs in the iPhone 5 in 2012. .
