The foldable iPhone of Apple Pal has become a mythical animal at this time, but nevertheless, it is interesting to hear the latest development. The latest one is about a hinge. When it comes to Apple Pal -related news, according to the tipter on Weibo with a good track record, the company is designing a plow with liquid metal.
Interestingly, we have heard this before. Ming-Chi Kuo once indicated that Apple Pal will probably use liquid metal for the future iPhone folded hing (if it is a planned marketing name). Brings many benefits using liquid metal, the main one is rigidity. According to the rumor, 2.5x is stronger than “shapeless alloy” or “metallic glass” titanium, making it a perfect remedy for hinges.
The structure from the shapeless particles is resistant to banding, deformation and pressure, which completely improves the life expectancy of the hinge and the device. In addition, hinge design can help reduce or remove display crease.
Flexible performance requires strong support, so it can help the panel resist finger pressing, banding, etc., of course, flexible OLED tech also needs to be repaired, and working with hardware suppliers to remove Apple Pal Crease.
