Ming-Chi Kuo, one of the reliable analysts in the world of technology, made striking statements about Apple’s highly anticipated foldable iPhone model. According to Kuo’s research, the hinge design of the foldable iPhone model, which returns to the snake story, will be used in the name of durability and functionality. This innovation can be an important step for foldable phones.

Apple had previously attracted attention with the use of liquid metal in small components such as SIM removal pins. However, this technology will be applied for the first time in a critical mechanical part like foldable iPhone hinges. Kuo says that it will offer advantages such as healing the screen flat of the liquid metal, minimizing wrinkle marks and increasing hinge. It is also estimated that this production process can be adopted by Android manufacturers.

Is it transition to a new level in durability?

Instant Digital, the source of leakage on Weibo, calls this liquid metal “metallic glass” or “amorphic metal .. According to the source, the design of the liquid metal hinge is more resistant to 2.5 times from the titanium alloy, it provides superior resistance to bending – deformation and depressions, and offers a premium user experience with a first class coating close to the stainless steel sensation.

However, the same source believes that Apple’s non -wrinkled screen target is not realistic. Although this design difficulty is described as “impossible ,, Apple is expected to hide the screen fold as much as possible.

In previous news, it was emphasized that Apple wanted to completely eliminate screen wrinkles. Etnews quoted the following statements of an internal source: “Apple aims to completely get rid of wrinkles at any cost.” Although it is stated that new materials will be used for this purpose, there is no definite information about these materials yet.
