“The European Patent Office published a new patent application from Apple late last week that describes a fused glass process for device housings,” Jack Purcher reports for Patently Apple.
“We’re all familiar with the iPhone 4S having both its face and back housings constructed with glass,” Purcher reports. “Apple’s latest European patent filing, which lists Jony Ive as one of the inventors, illustrates the double sided glass construction design possibly extending through to the iPod, iPad, and various displays (iMac, Cinema) including a television encased in glass using a fused glass process.”
