Apple to Apply Electro Magnetic Interference Shielding to Major iPhone 7 Chips?

Apple is planning to apply EMI (Electro Magnetic Interference) shielding to most of the major chips on the iPhone 7, reports ETNews. This is said to increase device performance and alleviate consumer concern about electromagnetic waves from smartphones.Apple is apparently planning to apply the shielding to radio frequency (RF), connectivity (wireless LAN, Bluetooth), application processor (AP), modem, and other chips. The company previously utilized this technology for its PCB and connector but decided to expand its use as the clock signals of digital chips have increased.When EMI Shield technology is applied, unexpected signals that happen due to electromagnetic interference can be prevented. Also circuit boards can also be assembled more elaborate. When mounting space between chips is decreased, areas that are left over can be used for batteries and eventually increase times that batteries can last. Major chips’ production costs will increase due to addition of new process.Share Article:Facebook,   Twitter,   LinkedIn,   Google Plus,   Email,   Reddit,   Digg,   Delicious,   StumbleUponFollow iClarified:Facebook,   Twitter,   LinkedIn,   Google Plus,   Newsletter,   App Store,   YouTubeAdvertise Here
