Abstract: An element for an electronic device can include a metal exterior portion including a first material, an interior portion including a second, independently selected material, and an engagement feature formed on a surface defined by the exterior and interior portions. The engagement feature can mechanically engage a material molded to the surface. A method for forming an element for an electronic device can include joining a boss to a member, forming a feature in the member while orienting the member via the boss, and at least partially removing the boss to form the element. An electronic device can include a frame defining an interior volume of the device, a display component, a transparent cover positioned adjacent to the display component, and an encapsulating material at least partially surrounding the display component and joining the display component to the frame.

Abstract: A thermal distribution assembly for an electronic device is disclosed. The electronic device includes an enclosure defined by a metal band and a non-metal bottom wall formed by glass, sapphire, or plastic. In this regard, the enclosure may include a relatively low thermal conductivity. However, the thermal distribution assembly provides heat transfer capabilities that offset thermal conductivity losses by using a non-metal bottom wall, and also provides added structural support. The thermal distribution assembly may include a first layer, a second layer, and a third layer. The first and third layers provide structural support, while the second layer provides a relatively high thermally conductive layer. The thermal distribution assembly includes sidewalls engaging and thermally coupling to the metal band, allowing the thermal distribution assembly to draw heat from a heat-generating component, and pass the heat to the metal band while minimizing or preventing temperature increases along the non-metal bottom wall.

Abstract: Electronic devices (10) may be provided with components such as displays (14) and cameras. A display (14) may be mounted in a housing (12). The housing (12) may have a sidewall (12W). A bent portion of the display (14) may be embedded in epoxy (20) that is separated from the sidewall (12W) by an air gap (22). Adhesive (24) may attach the epoxy to the housing. A metal support (26) that is chemically bonded to the epoxy (20) may be welded to metal structures such as camera brackets and other metal supports. The housing (12) may have a glass layer that forms a rear wall (12R). The glass layer may have a protruding portion (12RP) that forms a glass plateau with openings through which cameras operate. A camera (54) may have a protruding portion that is received within one of the glass plateau openings. The protruding portion (12RP) may extend into a metal camera trim (52) in one of the openings that is attached to the glass plateau.

Abstract: A portable electronic device (400) may include a housing (404) having a wall (407) defining an opening in the housing and at least a portion of four side surfaces of the portable electronic device (400). The portable electronic device may further include a display at least partially within the housing, a front cover (402) positioned in the opening in the housing and over the display, the front cover defining a front surface (432), a peripheral side surface (436) extending from the front surface (432) and at least partially surrounded by the wall (407) of the housing, and a notch (406) that, together with a portion of the wall of the housing, defines an acoustic port (401) of the portable electronic device. The electronic device (400) may further include an acoustic port cover (405) positioned at least partially in the acoustic port (401) and a speaker at least partially within the housing (404) and configured to direct sound through the acoustic port cover (405).
