Apple working on tech to hide the iPad & iPhone antenna gap

Future iPhones and cellular iPads may have new technology to hide the antenna gap in the case, ranging from strategic use of different materials, to something as simple as a thin dye layer mimicking the case material.The iPad has a section cut out of the enclosure construction for cellular models. One of the design issues of iPhones and iPads is to produce a version that can effectively handle electromagnetic waves, signals created and received by antennas inside the mobile devices. Making it possible for the antenna to do its job means either using materials in ways to prevent the blocking of a signal, or for there to be some opening through the enclosure to the outside world.
