“iPhone Fold” will adopt an innovative anti-deformation amorphous metallic glass hinge. According to the Weibo account Shana Digital, Apple has chosen metallic glass (amorphous metal) for the hinge mechanism of iPhone Fold. Industry analyst Ming-Chi Kuo previously mentioned Apple's use of "liquid metal," a common marketing term for the same product. Unlike traditional metals with a regular, repeating crystalline atomic structure, metallic glass has a disordered atomic arrangement and is more resistant to bending, deformation, and dents. Achieved through rapid cooling technology, its unique structure is 2.5 times harder than titanium alloy. It also has a smooth, shiny surface, making it similar in appearance to stainless steel. In addition to its mechanical advantages, the corrosion resistance of metallic glass ensures that the hinge mechanism can withstand different environments...
