Apple Found Ordering Carbon Fiber Parts For An Upcoming Product [RUMOR]

According to a recent anonymous source that has talked to Japanese blog Macotakara, Apple was caught red-handed purchasing a large ‘sample’ of carbon fiber parts. It is unknown what type of product Apple is testing this carbon fiber with, but we will go over one possibility below. First off, here are the exact words of our source: (translated via Google)

As noted by AppleInsider, a patent granted to Apple earlier this year detailed carbon fiber Macbook housings. The description specifically reads carbon fiber would “form outer housings for a laptop computer or other similar device.” It’s also notable that carbon fiber would continue the push towards light and slim devices.
