Appleis reportedly planning to use a new “super-hard” coating for the glass on theiPhone. The coating was initially intended for the iPhone 16 but won’t be ready in time; the display protection, which is now expected to arrive on the iPhone 17, will add a “super-hard reflective layer” to Apple’s flagship phone.
What do we know about the new iPhone 17 displays?
It seems quite likely that the tech the leaker is talking about is the same tech that’s in theSamsung, although for marketing reasons it’s also likely that Apple will call it something else to make it sound like it’s a different, Apple-grown tech: Apple’s been using and investing in Corning glass for years and there are no indications that that happy relationship has hit any obstacles or could be coming to an end.
Meanwhile another report suggests that while the iPhone 16 won’t get this new glass, it will get different bezels:SisaJournalsays that the iPhone 16 will use a technique called Border Reduction Structure across all models to reduce the thickness of its bezels without compromising on their strength. The current iPhone range uses LIPO injection moulding, with BRS having been attempted in the past but put back due to heat issues; they appear to have been solved, and BRS will help Apple’splans to make the iPhone 16 displays biggerwithout also making the phones proportionately larger.
