Apple engineers have invented a metal, a blocking signal antenna

Despite having one of the best teams of designers in the world, Apple in the appearance of their devices sometimes still had to make compromises because of the banal laws of physics. The two most notable concessions in the iPhone 6 were and remain bulging cameraAnd a strip through which the antenna signal. And if you create a sub-miniature optics as long as no one has learned, then get rid of extra materials in the housing, it seems, can now.
It is based technology production of the new material in a conventional arc oxidation of aluminum. Using transparent layers and handling the starting material, aluminum engineers were capable of transmitting an electromagnetic wave for cellular or any other network. Thus the material looks and feels like conventional anodized aluminum, so that the user can not tell the difference between the basic housing part and inserts a new metal.
If the production of the current generation iPhone was carried out with the use of this technology, the back of the smartphone would look something like this:
As we know from past experienceMass production of new products Apple begins in just a few months before the start of sales, that, theoretically, the company still has time to create a design with inserts iPhone 6s shell of the new metal. But while analysts say that only a new, more sturdy aluminum version next smartphone company, without saying a word about the unusual techniques like this.
