It looks the same as the Iphone 4's stainless steel band to me. I would actually not be surprised to find out that this "stainless steel" of Apple's is an amorphous alloy. I can't find much information on it, but this is what Apple says about it:

Stainless Steel Band
Created from our own alloy, then forged to be five times stronger than standard steel, the CNC-machined band is the mounting point for all the components of iPhone 4. The band provides impressive structural rigidity and allows for its incredibly thin, refined design. It also functions as both iPhone 4 antennas.

How would this strength be achieved unless it had an amorphous atomic structure?

I would be ok with this, though, since it should mean that we would get the rights to this formula. Probably the biggest thing that has worried me about Liquidmetal is the lack of a good Iron based amorphous alloy, which is where I think the future is eventually headed. If Apple has achieved this and is sharing it with Liquidmetal, there's no stopping us.

All speculation. If somebody has more information on Apple's "stainless steel," please share.
