Apple patents glass coating technology to make iPhones more durable

Apple has patented a new glass coating technology intended to make electronic devices more durable

The new patent registered is with the USPTO (United States Patent and Trademark Office) of reinforced glass to increase its resistance.The ‘Spiral Grain Coatings’ could also account for anti-scratch and anti-reflection benefits.

As per the patent, the coating layers applied on the glass structure of a device would be formed with polycrystalline materials, in which the grains will be implemented in an   interlaced spiral format.

It also envisions a stronger cover glass coating that will offer many benefits, such as adding anti-scratch, anti-reflective properties, and more

However, there is no confirmation about Apple actually using this technology, as Apple files many patents, and some of them never make it to the market.
