TAINAN, Taiwan -- Apple Inc. has decided that it will change iPhone casings from metal to glass to differentiate itself in the saturated global smartphone market in 2017, according to Allen Horng, chairman and chief executive of Catcher Technology , a key supplier.
There has been media speculation that the Taiwanese metal casing maker will lose Apple business next year to China's Biel Crystal Manufactory and Lens Technology, which already supplies glass screen covers for iPhones.
"As far as I know, only one [iPhone] model will adopt glass casing next year," Horng told reporters after the annual shareholder meeting on Thursday. "I don't think this move will have an impact on Catcher's revenue as glass casing still needs a durable metal frame which requires advanced processing technology and would not be cheaper than the current model."
