![]() This layer is just five micrometers thick, thinner than paint. ![]() The same magnets also power the phone’s vibration function.Īluminum: The iPhone’s case uses aerospace-grade aluminum with an anodized outside layer for extra protection. They are made from neodymium, iron, and boron, and sometimes also containing smaller amounts of other rare earths. Speakers and Headphones: To get lots of sound from a small place, high-powered neodymium magnets are used. Micro-capacitors: regulate electricity flow Apple managed to guarantee it only used conflict-free tantalum in February 2014. For example, while silver is the most conductive metal, gold never tarnishes. Which metal is chosen depends on the need. Micro-Electrical: Copper, gold, silver, and tungsten are used for electrical connections within the phone. Processor Chip: The phone’s processor is mainly made from silicon, but it is bombarded by various elements such as phosphorus, antimony, arsenic, boron, indium, and gallium to give it superior electrical properties. It also uses a graphite anode and aluminum casing. The iPhone uses lithium cobalt oxide (LiCoO2) chemistry in its cathode, with 60% of it being made from cobalt. ![]() Meanwhile, a layer of indium tin oxide makes it touchscreen capable, and small amounts of rare earths enables certain colors on the display. The aluminosilicate glass is bombarded with ions of potassium for strength. The iPhone’s screen is much more complex than it may seem. However, the iPhone would not be possible without the extraordinary raw materials that line the insides of the case. This best-selling handset sets the standard for smartphone performance and features. Presented by: Red Cloud Klondike Strike (Equity crowdfunding in mining)Īpple launched the first iPhone in 2007, and since then the iconic smartphone has sold over 700 million units around the world.
