Apple to use new alloys to improve iPhone coverage

It may seem like a charade these days, but of course the WiFi and 4G coverage of the current terminals is not exactly to applaud. We can consider that it is not bad, but we will hardly have to think that it is as good as we would like.

Much of the fault lies with the materials used as well as the large number of hardware devices that influence its operation. Apple is looking for a solution, it is already experimenting with new alloys in order to improve the coverage of its phones. 

According to Ming-Chi Kuo, the famed analyst, the Cupertino company is taking action on the matter in an important way, as it already did in its day with the heavy investments in sapphire crystal, 7000 aluminum and Gorilla Glass, is now betting on new metal alloys that can alleviate the situation. However, according to Kuo's words, the complexity in the manufacture of the terminals as well as the need for more material is weighing on the development of this technology that Apple intends to introduce in its phones (although we imagine that they will also do so in the rest of the devices. that have a telecommunications chip, to improve the entire range of products).

This complex metal is still on the table of the secrets of the Cupertino company right now, yes, apparently it will only be included in those terminals that have OLED screens, that is, the highest terminals in the range, those that Apple is denominating for now as "X", although we do not know for sure if this model will be special, or we will continue with an "Xs" and derivatives. Meanwhile, We already know that coverage problems are within Cupertino's thinking head for a possible medium-term solution, more is always better.
