Apple has been said to use the oh-so shiny Liquidmetal technology, ever since the Cupertino-based company obtained a patent to use Liquidmetal in its products in 2o1o. Apple ran a test, using Liquidmetal in its SIM card ejector tool and is rumored to be investigating its use in batteries. Some have said that Liquidmetal will be used in the next iPhone, however, it is unlikely that the casing will be made of the material.
In what looks to be a video aimed towards potential investors, Liquidmetal Technologies CEO Tom Steipp has confirmed his company’s involvement with Apple, and that his company is supplying Liquidmetal to Apple. In the video seen below the CEO says (55 secs), “Our technology has been commercialized in a number of accounts, most recently by Apple computer, which took a license on the product in August of 2010. [Apple] along with us are commercializing [Liquidmetal] in the consumer electronic space.”
