“They don’t really care about the shape of the iPhone’s gasket or that the manufacturing process utilizes liquid metal so as to avoid gaps or spaces between the glass and metal members – or that Apple uses alloys with liquid atomic structures,” Purcher writes. “Yet to future engineers and possibly those that will be the next generation of Crazy Ones in Cupertino, it definitely matters. Today’s brief report points you to one of many Patents that are behind the coolest iPhone ever.”
Purcher reports, “Apple’s patent covers some of the intricate methods and processes that are required to ensure that the assemblies of devices that are mating metal with glass, like the iPhone 4 or iMac, are incredibly accurate so as to provide stunning end user products where metal and glass simply appear as if they’re naturally blending together without seam. And the only seams that are present on the design, are ingeniously a series of antennas that are brought together to create the primary structure of the new iPhone.”
