BIEL Crystal Chosen for iPhone 17e Cover Glass
Apple has launched its latest budget-friendly smartphone, the iPhone 17e, showcasing incredible advancements in durability and storage. This new device, which has a starting price of $599, sets a new standard by offering 256GB of base storage—double the capacity compared to its predecessor, the iPhone 16e.
What makes the iPhone 17e particularly noteworthy is its cover glass, exclusively supplied by BIEL Crystal. This advanced front cover is made of Ceramic Shield 2, featuring enhanced scratch resistance capabilities. With BIEL Crystal’s specially developed super-hard coating technology, the newest version of Ceramic Shield boasts three times better scratch resistance than the previous generation used in the iPhone 16e—Ceramic Shield 1.
BIEL Crystal's role as the exclusive supplier for the iPhone 17e continues their longstanding partnership with Apple, a relationship that was also evident during the launch of the iPhone 16e. Such collaboration isn't merely a coincidence; it reflects the trust Apple places in BIEL Crystal, a company recognized as a premier provider of exterior structure and module solutions across various smart devices.
