![]() ![]() There may be some durability benefits over time but since Apple focused on the brightness as a reason for the coating during the keynote it’s likely the primary reason for using HiPIMS was to get the right color of gold.Īll of those characteristics of the world’s finest watches and jewelry pieces are present in the iPhone 12 Pro. Update: Some early gold iPhone 12 Pro testing is in and it looks like it fingerprints just fine. One side effect is that this type of coating is easier to wipe clean and takes on less fingerprints, something that my blue model was, uh, definitely prone to. But the new gold (which I do not have in person but looks great) uses a special high-power, impulse magnetron sputtering ( HiPIMS ) process that lays down the coating in a super dense pattern, allowing it to be tough and super bright with a molecular structure that mimics the stainless steel underneath - making it more durable than “standard” PVD. ![]() Most of the iPhone 12 Pro finishes still use a physical vapor deposition process for edge coating.
