Please show who has Scientifically tested these parts, all the Blog breakdowns do is have a look-see, a little prodding and probing, some x-ray of chips, working out the suppliers of Apple and how much it costs to build, How much it would cost to repair, then those same blogs sell you services for the iDevice.
They are NOT scientists. They are marketers.

Here's what I don't think you are seeing. When these blogs break down a new Apple product 1) They have obtained the product on the first day which can be difficult 2) They break it down completely and thoroughly. No, there are no spectrometers used. Because of these two things I suspect not only is the big, new Apple product given to whatever blog by Apple for free from the factory. It is provided knowing full well it will be sacrificial, it's part of the deal. I would be certain there are also hints thrown inside the box of what to "expose". Like Car & Driver magazine, car manufacturers need and enjoy the continual free marketing. And Car & Driver can't piss off a car manufacturer with a poor review. On top of all that Apple has never ever refuted any findings of these product breakdowns to my knowledge.

If they have been extensively using LQMT for years, you don't think it's in the Apple culture to brag about it? Using it as a way to divide themselves from other similar products? In the future I am predicting that Apple uses more gimmicks in their products. Gimmicks like LQMT to make up for the lack of innovation and improvements. So you are going to see more Apple emphasis on what color something is, not what has changed inside of it from the last model.

If Apple has been using all this LQMT all this time, as a shareholder; why haven't the sales been reported??? LQMT averages 100-150K is sales revenue a quarter and quite frankly nobody here can explain where that even comes from--but it is not certainly the revenue from the things you have described. Where would all of these items been manufactured? Certainly not RSM and certainly not in Cupertino. Apple contract manufactures everything in it's product line up. So...where's the sales reported?

On top of all that, there is ABSOLUTELY NO WAY any Fortune (insert whatever number) company is going to risk a new technology with a company that has no track record what so ever in production to manufacture something for them. 1,000's of RFQ's can't be wrong. Don't forget my thoughts on the GTAT spanking. And don't forget my thoughts on Tim and Jony's Apple; Apple wants to be a services company. RSM is in no way capable of large scale manufacturing.

So that's why I say categorically there is no LQMT being used inside Apple products.


I do believe there "may" be an opportunity for use in an Apple product. And it has to do with my working hypothesis of the Apple/LQMT relationship, let me write it in another post 'cause this one is already too long.
