Apple is said to be working on applying a technology that blocks off electromagnetic waves to iPhone 7. The new iPhone will apparently include a broader array of single-chip EMI shields, from radio frequency to wireless LAN and Bluetooth chips. In the past, the company has also used EMI shielding on large portions of the iPhone’s circuit board and a few individual chips have included their own shielding as well.
According to a report by ET News , Apple has StatsChipPac and Amkor responsible for EMI Shield process on major chips of iPhone 7. EMI Shield process will take place in both businesses’ factories that are in South Korea.
Apple is said to have decided to use the EMI shielding technology due to its effectiveness in preventing interference in wireless communication. These individual EMI shields can also allow for ‘more elaborate’ and ‘more densely packed circuit boards’ allowing for smaller devices or larger batteries. The company first applied the EMI Shield technology to major chip package ‘S1’ of Apple Watch which released in 2015.
A representative of this industry told ET News that, “As clock signals of digital chips have increased and as diverse functions such as 3D-touch and others have recently added, reduction of electromagnetic waves have emerged as major topic of this industry. As other smartphone businesses might be looking to apply EMI Shield technology to major chips just as Apple did, packaging and other related equipment industries will benefit a lot from this.”
