    From August, a senior at apple Kenny addresses as an engineer composite materials. In early 2009, he has been for apple patent and the carbon fibre shell, it may be he can become a formal employee causes. Apple also hope the appointment to realize their carbon fibre equipment plan.

    Kenny has rich experience is viewed as the leading apple composite materials design best candidate, 20 years, he created and maintained in supply chain accumulated much experience, which is very much a factor in the apple. Apple need talent can not only design the product, the important thing is to find ways to perform they need quantity production scale.

    Since 2003, apple will aluminum as a major design materials, the material is almost all products applied to apple. Aluminum products made big advantage is that it can be done, but with very thin and more many competitors will it as main design materials, aluminum use also gradually reached its limit.

    Carbon fiber and other composite material can make products lighter, but now the problem is that the price is too expensive, and because of the heat absorption efficiency too low, this material will also overheating problem.
