Liquidmetal Technologies Inc (LQMT)

Assuming for the moment that some or all of the above components are BMG, wouldn't it be to LQMT's benefit to get the word out even if they are not made by LQMT or using LQMT's formulations. Wouldn't proof that Apple's adoption of the technology raise the value of LQMT in the eyes of other manufactures?

And risk losing Apple's CIP input.

Assuming that LQMT isn't the manufacturer (which is a very safe assumption), LQMT isn't contractually bound from analyzing the components and releasing the results. More likely, LQMT would secretly leak the results to a tear lab so as to keep their finger prints off of the report and thereby avoid Apple's wrath.

Impossible to leak a scientific analysis without it coming back to LQMT nor would anyone publish such a claim if it is not backed up by those who originated the claim.
And again Risk losing Apple or worse getting finned $50 million for revealing 1 Apple secret.

IMHO, it is very unlikely that the components are made from BMG and that no one has thought to analyze them for being BMG. Heck, someone could just try to see if bending a component was harder than if it were made of steel or aluminum,and if so, then do a detail metallurgical examination.

The folks that teardown are only interested in selling you the tools/batteries etc to fix your devices or charge you to repair them, the other folks teardown/destroy devices for the youtube views.

I have never seen any of them do any type of microstructure analyses. These internet teardown are not scientific, only done for the entertainment and profit of those doing them.


Also consider what Eontec/Li have been claiming, increased BMG sales and growing Adoption of BMG.
So BMG MUST already be in use.
