Yes, yes, we only reported on an Apple patent application a few hours ago, but interesting stuff is interesting stuff. While this morning?s news focused on Apple?s future attempts to get into and control your living room, this is an altogether more feasible idea: an iPhone case made entirely out of glass.
The patent application points to portable devices hewn from glass right the way round. That?s not to say that Apple want you to see the device?s innards, of course: think more along the lines of the current iPhone, only without the steel frame around the middle.
The patent application describes how the iPhone of 2013 could be built from a ?hollow glass tube? that then gets stuffed with tech, or by combining two half tubes together. The question is: why?
iPhone 5 jumping up to 4.6-inches?
Apple cites two main benefits to having an entirely glass iPhone. The first is that glass is better for conducting a wireless signal, and the second is that it?s more watertight. The patent application reads: ?The seamless enclosure, in addition to being aesthetically pleasing, can provide the added benefit of less contamination and moisture intrusion.?
We?re wary. These benefits won?t amount to much if the device they?re helping can?t survive a fall: the iPhone 4 and 4S are coated in glass on its front and back, and we know plenty of people with cracked devices caused by even the slightest of falls.
