Apple plans to switch from aluminum to the Carboniferous?

Apple is not giving special publicity hired a man who may well be responsible for creating devices with the body made from carbon composites. It is about the appointment of a senior engineer for composite materials in Apple by Kevin Kenny (Kevin Kenney), who is executive director of Kestrel Bicycles, the company seeks to build carbon frames and bikes. Previously, Kevin Kenny has worked with Apple, allowing the company managed in early 2009 to obtain a patent on the use of carbon fiber, but now this man has to cooperate with the company on an ongoing basis.

Mr Kenny may well become that worker Apple, which will help the company shift from use in the design of their products aluminum plastic composite. At the same time that it was important for 20 years in the design of products made from carbon fiber, he has experience not only the creation of forms, but also the elaboration of the whole chain, which requires the production of such products, including supplies, which may be particularly important for Apple. It is worth noting that since 2003 the company has almost completely shifted to the use of aluminum as a base material for the housings of all their devices. To date, "aluminum" design is not only used by many competitors, and can not in itself allocate the company's products, but also the use of the material begins to impose limits on the ability to use - mainly it concerns dimensions of the device and the weight of his body.
