Polishing, has this already been posted, if so sorry for the repeat.

Last September Patently Apple posted a report titled "Revealing Apple Patent Covers Ceramic Apple Watch and All-New Ceramic iPhone" Today the US Patent & Trademark Office published a patent application from Apple that reveals the first ever industrial process for 'Laser Polishing Ceramic Material' on a future iPhone. Technically speaking, the crystallinity of ceramic materials ranges from highly oriented to semi-crystalline, and often completely amorphous (e.g., glasses). The minute you talk about amorphous/glass, you're also entering the realm of liquid metal. As Liquidmetal Technologies explains it "Liquidmetal® alloys belong to a class of highly engineered materials called Bulk Metallic Glasses (BMG), which have been developed with the goal of advancing physical material properties to their theoretical limits." Patently Apple posted a report in November titled "Rumor Claims Apple will Shift to Glass iPhone in 2017 to Accommodate Wireless Charging." It's very possible that the "glass" iPhone will be using materials noted in Apple's latest patent filing revealed today by the U.S. Patent Office.
