iPhone 6 has liquidmetal component after all.

From the Apple iPhone 6 Keynote - September 2014 Launch Event... remarks by Eddie Cue:

"Now Apple Pay is built into every iPhone 6 and 6 Plus.... And we’ve got a new chip called the Secure Element and it’s built into every iPhone 6 and it stores all of your payment information encrypted and securely." Eddie Cue goes on to say: "Now we’ve also integrated security throughout both the hardware and software in a way that only Apple can...and we store it safely in the Secure Element." (You can read Cue's remarks here: http://www.singjupost.com/apple-iphone-6-keynote-september-2014-launch-event-full-transcript/3/)

The Secure Element? I call your attention to the following patent filed by Apple and assigned to CIP - a wholly owned subsidiary of Liquidmetal Technologies, Inc.: Tamper-resistent Amorphous Alloy Joining; Crucible Intellectual Property; Theodore Waniuk et al.; Publication: 04/2013, Filing: 09/2011. Section [0071] of that patent reads: "Tamper-resistant amorphous alloy joining could be used for tamper-resistant microprocessors that are used to store and process private or sensitive information, such as private keys or electronic money credit. To prevent an attacker from retrieving or modifying the information, the chips could designed so that the information is not accessible through external means by security encapsulation using tamper resistant amorphous alloy joining."

Want confirmation? Wait until the first tear down is reported. And remember that you heard it first on iHub.
