“Apple is applying a technology that blocks off electromagnetic waves to iPhone 7,” Han Juyeop reports for The Electronic Times.It is a measure to increase device’s performance while decreasing electromagnetic interference to major chips and to solve people’s fear on electromagnetic waves from Smartphones.”
“According to industry on the 15th, Apple is applying EMI (Electro Magnetic Interference) Shield technology to variety of digital chips, radio frequency (RF), connectivity (wireless LAN, Bluetooth) chips and others that also include AP (application processor) and modems,” Han reports. “Although it has been applying this technology to PCB (Printing Circuit Board) and connector, this is the first time when it is applying this technology to most of major chips.”
“It has decided to use this technology due to interference in wireless communication and others as clock signals of digital chips have recently increased,” Han reports. “When EMI Shield technology is applied, unexpected signals that happen due to electromagnetic interference can be prevented. Also circuit boards can also be assembled more elaborate. When mounting space between chips is decreased, areas that are left over can be used for batteries and eventually increase times that batteries can last.”
