The iPhone Ultra is scheduled to launch this fall, and a new leak claims it will feature liquid metal, an innovation that has been developed within Apple for more than 15 years.
There are only a few months left until the release of Apple’s first foldable iPhone, the iPhone Ultra.
Yesterday I learned for the first time that the new model will be equipped with a vapor chamber for cooling. The same leak mentioned that Apple is on track for a September release.
Now, the same leaker, Fixed Focus Digital, has posted a new update on Weibo.
Here’s the post via Google Translate:
Latest confirmation: Apple has chosen a liquid metal hinge solution for its foldable screen.
Moreover, research and development and production are progressing rapidly, and prototypes have already been sent to carriers around the world for testing.
There have been reports of liquid metal hinges for some time. But like foldable screens, this is the kind of technology that’s been rumored for years but little substance.
Fixed Focus Digital’s “confirmation” that liquid metal is being used in the hinge at such a late stage in the iPhone Ultra’s production is a great sign that this is the year that Apple’s 15-plus year bet on liquid metal pays off.
Apple first licensed the “Liquid Metal” technology in 2010, but the company hasn’t done much with it other than using it for SIM card tools. But liquid metal has been rumored for years to help make thinner, lighter iPhones.
Below is an excerpt from mac’s cult Articles from August 2010:
As Apple explores innovative materials, it may also be working on an Apple foldable phone with a cutting-edge Liquid Metal hinge.
A more than 15-year-old prediction that liquid metal would be used in the foldable iPhone hinge may finally come true this fall.
