What is the bar at the top of the HTC 10?

Hey,

With no IR blaster on the HTC 10, does anyone know what the bar is at the top (where the IR blaster was located on the One series)?

Thanks for any help.

I read somewhere that the plastic area you are describing is for the various antennas near the top of the phone.

That makes sense, thanks New Yorker.

Yep, from the latest AC review:

"Up top, that extravagant metal design is broken up by two engineering necessities — a 3.5mm headphone jack, and a plastic section for antenna reception. It's easy to ignore on the dark gray model, but stands out a little more in the gold and silver versions."

Thanks David.
