Confirmed: In 2017, Apple’s iPhone will be 'all glass'Mumbai, May 26(AZINS) Leaks in the past by serial tipster Evan Blass suggested that the upcoming iPhone would be ‘all glass’. Now, according to a report by Forbes, Allen Horng, chairman and chief executive of long time iPhone chassis maker Catcher Technology said that Apple’s iPhone which would launch in 2017, would be using a glass casing.

The report further added, Horng added that the glass chassis would not be expensive and that Catcher would require advanced processing technology to manufacture it as well. In addition, the chasis will be needed to be enclosed in a metal frame too.

In 2017, Apple may be incorporating an all-new wireless charging technology in their iPhone and iPad, according to a recent Bloomberg report. Unlike current wireless charging technologies that require the device to be placed on a mat or within a charging cradle, this new technology will purportedly enable wireless charging from farther away. These revelations were made by people who happen to be familiar with the program and who have asked not to be identified.

As part of this technology development, Apple is researching overcoming the loss of power associated with transmission over distance.
