iPhone Ultra to sport a liquid metal hinge

Apple is reportedly developing its first foldable smartphone, the iPhone Ultra, which will feature a durable liquid metal hinge and is expected to launch this September.

Key Points

  • The iPhone Ultra is rumored to debut alongside the iPhone 18 Pro and 18 Pro Max this fall.
  • Prototypes of the foldable device have been distributed to global carriers for pre-launch testing.
  • The liquid metal hinge utilizes an amorphous alloy that is stronger and lighter than titanium or stainless steel.
  • This material provides high elasticity, allowing the hinge to maintain structural integrity after hundreds of thousands of folds.

Why it Matters

The integration of liquid metal technology could solve common durability issues associated with foldable displays, such as hinge wear and structural fatigue. If successful, this innovation may set a new industry standard for hardware longevity in the competitive foldable smartphone market.
