Apple is working on a electromagnetic interference protection which will protect most of the iPhone 7 chips and help maintain the device's performance while increasing its power and complexity. The company that Tim Cook runs has used EMI protection in the past. Electromagnetic Interference) in different parts of the iPhone, but it seems that the iPhone 7 It will include a wider range of EMI protections on a single chip.
South Korean Manufacturers StatsChipPac y Amkor They will be in charge of manufacturing the new EMI protections that will be used in the iPhone 7, a device that, if there are no surprises, will go on sale in mid-September. The worst thing is that production cost will increase Due to the complexity of the new technology and, knowing how the apple company spends them and although I may be wrong, it is likely that we will see a small price increase compared to what the iPhone 6s cost in 2015.
According to ETNews, Apple uses EMI protection for its efficiency avoiding interference in wireless communication. Individual EMI shields can also allow for denser circuitry and smaller device boards, allowing for smaller device dimensions or larger batteries. An example of this type of EMI package would be the S1 processor that is the heart of the Apple Watch, a smart watch that was introduced at the end of 2014.
If the forecasts are met, Apple will start producing the iPhone 7 only a couple of months before it is presented, but this time Wistron will join Foxconn and both companies will be able to make more iPhones in the same time. I just hope that, for the sake of users and perhaps for the future of Apple, the price does not go up again with the arrival of the iPhone 7.
As I understand it, Apple is only expanding the use of this technology together with the companies StatsChipPac and Amkor, responsible for providing this technology to Apple.
Perhaps it is for the next Apple watch to which they hope to sell many more units, and it is necessary for the sensors that the watch includes to protect the chips with this technology, with many benefits, also as the article says it can be for future iPhones, obviously late or early they will take it to the iphone for its benefits, and if they are going to put wireless charging (really) this type of shielding on the chips is more than necessary.
