It is because Apple adopted a brand new manufacturing course of completely for Sierra Blue that makes use of “a number of layers of nanometer-scale metallic ceramics utilized throughout the floor for a shocking and sturdy end.”
Shade Possibility Rumors
The primary iPhone 14 colour choice rumor from Weibo obtained traction on Twitter and the knowledge has seemingly been mirrored by different unverified posts from elsewhere. Nonetheless, the submit got here from a supply and not using a identified observe report and it’s not clear why it was deleted, so it ought to nonetheless be considered with a degree of skepticism.
Shade choice rumors are sometimes an space of low accuracy for Apple rumors, possible since colour choices are chosen comparatively late in Apple’s product growth course of.
