Why your next iPhone won’t be ceramic

Before you read on, take a quick look at this Quora post, answering the question What will the iPhone 8 be made of?

That post sells the idea that the iPhone 8 will be made primarily from ZrO2 – Zirconian Ceramics, made famous by the Space Shuttle as a thermal barrier and an option on the newest Apple Watch.

The linked post, from Atomic Delights, is a strong rebuttal to that Quora post and a bit of a love letter to aluminum.

Beautifully written, a terrific read.
