The myth about the liquid metal component rumor being revived by the iPhone fold

a possible collapse of an iPhone
The phone Fold is expected to use liquid metal springs and bearings, according to a story that was long-held, and now it seems like it will be. Portable displays now have a very obvious wrinkle after a while of use, according to reports that Apple has at least at least lessened this. Ming-Chi Kuo is then backed up by a review about one way Apple is accomplishing this, which appears to be based on his offer network connections. According to Kuo on Twitter, “[ In order to improve the durability, screen flatness, and crease-free screen of the foldable iPhone,” Apple will use liquid metal materials for key component bearings ( hinge ) and process them through die casting. A lowest bend diameter must not be exceeded in order to keep that down on a crystal surface. It’s not clear why wet steel springs and bearings are necessary for a crease-free camera, so to speak. Apple’s intention for that is more to do with the lid design and the glass itself than the materials used in those hinges. Prior to &# 13, Apple had used comparable materials in conjunction with California’s Liquidmetal Technologies but not for significant components. For instance, the company created the SIM compressor tool for the iPhone and iPad using alloy systems in 2010. &# 13;, But it seems like Apple has gotten pretty far with the technology with that SIM compressor. Kuo mentions this in his article, but he claims that Apple is currently working with Chinese company Dongguan Yian Technology for the much larger and crucial phone wrap order. According to Kuo, the business is reportedly under an exclusive contract with Apple, and the iPhone fold will only bring in twice the company’s annual revenues. &# 13, Kuo claims that the iPhone flip will be Apple’s second production run using liquid metal. However, the company has a long history of using it. It obtained a patent in 2015 in exchange for layer-by-layer production of goods, but the business didn’t use this in mass production. Despite this, Apple has undoubtedly pursued the systems. It filed a new patent application for liquid material in shaping techniques in 2014, and it did so in 2014. Individually, it has been claimed that an iPhone slide may cost more than a present Mac Studio. &# 13, Most recently, Kuo has veered between guessing predictions and supply chain reports, and it’s often obvious which is which. Nevertheless, he does mention a most recent market study in this instance.
