iPhone Ultra Foldable: Final Certification and Liquid Metal Hinge
Apple's first foldable screen smartphone, the iPhone Ultra, is undergoing final certification with carriers. This product, expected to launch later this year, features a new and highly durable liquid metal hinge.
Fixed Focus Digital, a Chinese leaker, continues to share information about Apple's first foldable screen model, the iPhone Ultra. He claimed that prototypes of this device were sent to carriers in the regions where the device will be launched to verify compatibility with local networks. This is an essential step that all new devices must go through before certification for commercialization.
Exclusive Liquid Metal Hinge for iPhone Ultra Foldable
It has been revealed that the hinge, a key component in device operation, actually uses liquid metal, which was mentioned in previous rumors. This material, which Apple has owned since 2010, has already been used in small components like SIM card ejectors, but this is the first time it's being used in more complex components. This is a technological achievement.
Characteristics and Advantages of Apple's Amorphous Alloy
Liquid metal, an amorphous alloy, has high strength despite its light weight and is more resistant to wear and corrosion. However, it is difficult to manufacture as large components.
