The the camera is made out of sapphire glass. The battery is made out of cobalt, graphite aluminum, and lithium. Gold, silver, copper, tungsten are responsible for the electrical connections within the phone. Silicon, antimony, phosphorus, arsenic, boron, idium, and gallium are responsible for the processor chip inside the phone. Sound and vibrations come from nickel, neyodium, boron, an iron. Finally, the screen is made of silicon, aluminum, potassium, indium, and tin. These elements are used to provide extra strength and protection. Indium and tin are used to make the touchscreen feature.
