According to Apple blog site Macotakara claims that newer Apple products will have a carbon fiber body frame, if this is true Apple products like iPads and iPods will become much lighter. The carbon fiber will add extra strength to the products giving them a longer life span

According to my source, some engineer of Apple and Foxconn Technology came on Japanese company, which has carbon production in mid-March, and they requested to develop some sample.

I don’t have information which is ordered by Apple, source told the number of parts is too large to be called “sample”.

Rumors of Apple’s interest in carbon fiber, which offers high strength at low weight, have been circulating for a number of years but have yet to come to fruition. Nearly four years ago there were rumors of a carbon fiber MacBook Air, and Apple patent applications have indicated that the company is at least exploring what could be done with such materials.
