Apple's foldable phone might finally use that weird liquid metal from its patents. The device could feature a hinge made from this material paired with a titanium body, aiming for perfect weight distribution and strength. This approach targets the common foldable issue of screen creases, potentially minimizing their appearance through improved durability.
Samsung demonstrated a similar crease-free panel technology recently. Their method uses a perforated metal plate under the screen to disperse the folding pressure. Apple reportedly plans a color filter for the display encapsulation, making the panels lighter and more power efficient.
Specifications for the device include a primary screen around 7.7 inches with a cover display of around 5.4 inches. It may use a side-mounted Touch ID sensor instead of Face ID. Internal hardware could feature a proprietary A20 Pro chipset, 12GB of RAM, and an in-house 5G modem.
The camera system might have a dual 48 megapixel rear setup and a under display 24 megapixel front sensor. A large battery between 5400 and 5800 mAh is also speculated. The phone would be an eSIM-only model with a dedicated vapor chamber for cooling.
Pricing is projected at around two thousand four hundred dollars. Initial shipment estimates range between seven and nine million units. The design reportedly adopts a wide passport-style form factor.
