Apple Could Use Metallic Glass Alloys On Back Panel In Next Iphones

Rumours are spreading around the internet that the next Applie iPhone may have a metallic glass back, as the company published a patent with the US Patent & Trademark Office back in 2016. Metallic glasses are created by rapidly cooling alloys made of various metals such as iron, titanium and copper. Their non-crystalline structure makes metallic glasses a strong and durable material. According to "Patently Apple" their patent "relates to metals comprising a metal coating on a metal substrate and methods for applying a metal coating onto a metal substrate using micro-alloying."
