Apple's
rumored entry-level iPhone reportedly may adopt plastic for its chassis instead
of reinforced glass or unibody metal as in the company's standard iPhone
models, to save cost, according to sources from the upstream supply chain.
However, Foxconn Electronics (Hon Hai Precision Industry) declined to comment
on its clients or orders when asked about the report.
The rumour in the supply
chain is that the inexpensive iPhone chassis supplier will reportedly be a
US-based electronic manufacturing service (EMS) provider.
However,
other rumors are circulating that the entry-level iPhone will adopt a chassis
mixed with plastic and metal, with the internal metal parts being able to be
seen from outside through special design, the sources noted.
The sources
pointed out that the related upstream components for the entry-level iPhone are
currently going through validation and the actual product may show up in the
market in the second half of 2013.
