iPhone 8 to have stainless steel frame for its glass sandwich design

10 January 2017
Apple will thus abandon the aluminum alloys it's been using for its smartphones in the past few years.

Sort by:

Whatever material Apple use, iPhone won't abandon their Trademark "Thick Bezel"..

              Stupid idea from Apple

                AnonD-39337, 11 Jan 2017What's the difference between aluminum and stainless steel ... moreBasically stainless steel is made from the same material as your spoon. Its virtually scratch resistant. Lots of wedding rings too. Aluminum as we know it, scratch easily, dented upon impact and cheap.

                      AnonD-510098, 10 Jan 2017Samsung copied Apple with the iPhone4 actually. Samsung ... moreI think you're blind. Apple moved away from it a long time before Samsung decided to use it. If Samsung wanted to copy they would copy the current iPhone, you know, like Apple is doing now.

                          Stainless steel and glass looks really nice. Just check out the Sony Xperia Z5 Premium.

                            We all know that Apple won't use the lower build price to add in a curved screen, you're gonna pay $150 extra for that XD. If football (oh, yeah, American football) players used as much as Apple does with their pricing schemes, head injuries would be non-existent!

                                      it seems all new phones in 2017 will have either a curved screen or a 2.5D screen...no exciting designs...not that it matters..we're gonna cloak that in silicone or polycarb cases anyway..a straight fight between OSes and internal features..hmm nice..though..stainless steel...slightly heavier??
