After realizing that aluminum for the 3G and 3GS iPhones doesn’t allow the 3G signal to pass through it, Apple is now revising the phone to using Titanium.
The first generation iPhone, also referred to as iPhone 2G, doesn’t work on 3G networks, unlike Apple’s newer iPhones, the 3G and 3GS models. However, for 3G signal to pass through the iPhone’s case, Apple was forced to lose the aluminum, and go with a less-interfering material – plastic. Many believe its high time Apple rolled out the next revision to the iPhone. If they’re right, Apple cannot release a third iPhone model that looks exactly like its predecessors (the 2G, 3G and 3GS models). So why not go for titanium, this time around?
Needless to point out, there are a few drawbacks to using Titanium to make the next iPhone’s shell, the biggest of which is costs. Leaving aside that the metal itself is expensive, its hardness would require more powerful machines, perhaps even newer technology, to craft the cases. Currently, Apple is still soft on aluminum (pun intended), using it in almost all of its products, including the upcoming iPad. The company is not showing any signs of “attenuation” to this trend.
