Ooh Apple are so innovative, what will they think of next an infra red port? I really am starting to get sick of these boring black slab designs from all current phone OEM's.

I guess they discovered it during the development of the new Macbook (the antenna integrated into the metal hinge enclosure without need for plastic like in the Macbook Air)

As I read the application in the source, it is a matter of a thin coating on top of a composite. So in principle it is a bit like paint. I guess the antenna signal might get through a very thin metal oxide layer, with almost no dampening.
But it really doesn't matter *how* it is done if it works and looks better. :-)

AnonD-408908, 22 Jun 2015Hope it no a rumorIndeed, as much as I like Apple's design language in general, I get the distinct impression Johnny Ive has issues with how to place aerials. The 1Phone 6 isn't even the worst example, the big plastic block on the iPad 3/4G models distorts an otherwise nice looking device.
