My guess is that the Maple Phone is made out of maple. It was designed by Hyun Jin Yoon and Eun Hak Lee and their goal with the phone was to make a phone that’s cheaper to mass produce, no matter how many trees scream over the high pitched wail of chainsaws. The screen is behind a slider and it uses a touch sensitive keypad with a backlight that shows through the wood. I’m thinking this is the perfect phone for the Amish. Or maybe for a Hobbit.
