Apple may make iPhones more scratch-resistant

Most flagship smartphones use materials that add a premium feel. That said, they are often more susceptible to scratches and dents than budget materials. One such smartphone —iPhone.

That may soon change. Apple recently received a new patent called Spatial Composites. It describes a new process for embedding materials such as ceramics and metal into the body of a smartphone. This will help make the body of the device more scratch-resistant and able to withstand more damage.

The patent describes that the process is for mobile devices such as smartphones, watches, tablets, laptops, laptops, music playback devices and more.

Be aware that this is only a patent, and Apple may never incorporate this technology into its devices.
