Apple his devices from year to year is created, we see change materials used in their manufacture. For the housing around the hardware in an iDevice, glass, steel and aluminium were favorites of late, but the last safe at the company proposes a modern material could be iPad 3 or iPhone 5 environment and beyond.
Kevin Kenney has been working for many years with carbon fiber and use it to make light and very strong bikes for Kestrel bicycles. Carbon fiber is in fact, used in many sports, especially formula one for the body on the cars is desirable.
Kenney worked with Apple in the past, but now a full-time bear the title of senior composite engineer. Such safe suggests that Apple will use a new material in their devices and with Kenney's background and experience is looking for that material, seems to carbon fiber.
If you have followed Apple closely in recent years this may come as no surprise. In May 2009, a patent for an enhanced device was material submitted housing with a "fiber in matrix" by Kenney. Is this patent to the inventor Kenney, but the assignee is Apple Inc.
This is, if Apple gadget fans start carbon should always because of the benefits fiber excited as material offers. It very thin fibers of carbon graphite twisted together thousands form a very hard tissue or in combination with plastic a shiny, hard surface ideal consists for housing.
As well as very strong, carbon fiber is incredibly easy and has low thermal expansion. It is therefore generally highly desirable as a material, but perfectly for a device that protection has needs production heat, while must be the internal components at the same time as easy as possible for portable.
While we have no information from Apple, is the evidence of the company with carbon fiber and increase in which research and development is now could be delivered to iPhone 5 and IOS 3 first devices with it in any way.
