And 5 years since Apple did the unibody
aluminium design move.
Not exact matches
The increase in cylinder bore is facilitated by a
move to cylinder liners that are pressed into the pre-machined
aluminium alloy block, allowing a thinner liner than was possible with the cast - in
design of the 4.3 litre engine.
Enjoyment of quality audio on the
move is effortless thanks to a collapsible
design that has been crafted from lightweight materials: Sennheiser used dampened
aluminium on the ear cups, headband and sliders.
Although Apple had started to
move away from glass with the iPhone 5 (which featured a unibody
aluminium body combined with glass cutouts at the top and bottom) and went on to completely
move away from it with the iPhone 6 in 2014 (full
aluminium unibody with discrete antenna bands), Samsung opted to release a metal - and - glass sandwich
design with the Galaxy S6 and the S6 Edge.
In fact, while ditching the old
design entirely is a perfectly plausible
move, the # 1000 starting price of the iPhone X is steep and a switch to
aluminium would presumably help reduce this so for now, we're placing our bets on at least one
aluminium frame, if not all.
