A major Taiwanese news source has just confirmed that Catcher Technology, a company specializing in the manufacture of casings for all types of smart devices, has been approached by Apple to produce a metal casing.

Everything seems to indicate that this casing has a lot to do with the company's future smartphones , which could include Apple's highly anticipated iPhone 6.

However, despite this important information, we deduce that Catcher will most likely supply Apple with 10,5 million cases for the iPhone 6 and 20 million cases for other iPhone models in 2014. This determines...

That amount would represent 15% of the total covers for Apple's next iPhone ; where it is said that Apple would expect to order a total of 70 million of those covers, for each unit by the end of this year.

On the other hand, Barclays Capital suggests that Catcher plans to increase its production by 20 to 40% to meet the expected high demand for the iPhone 6. It's worth noting that Apple is one of Catcher Technology's largest clients , currently accounting for 40% of its revenue.

Finally, to conclude this important news, we will highlight the opinion of Morgan Stanley, who deduces that after the adoption of these metal casings for future Apple devices , the cost of the iPhone 6 will rise considerably for users.
