It wouldn't take much liquidmetal to make a phone frame that would not bend. Perhaps a thin liquidmetal frame could be sandwiched between two pieces of steel or aluminum? This could help with the dissipation of heat, provide bending resistance, and save money.

I was only replying to jr5's post with a picture and no commentary. Nothing more.

Of course midframe prototypes made from Liquidmetal exist. We are well past that argument. The argument at hand is whether or not an entity somehow affiliated to LQMT/EONTEC won the bid to produce parts for the iPhone 12 in 2020/2021.

The second picture that jr5 posted, the iPhone 12 midframe leak, is the interesting one. This is ostensibly from a current production run. If we could determine that that metal is indeed Liquidmetal, then we have something. It matches the patent, grooves and all. That isn't enough to convince me, but it is enough to give me hope.

This is why they are irrelevant:

1) None of them are associated with the machine which made them.
There have been numerous iterations made since the original LK machines were on the floor at Valencia Circle. We all saw how slow and cumbersome was the process at Lake Forest.

2) Anyone can show a picture of a prototype, but it doesn't discuss the commercial value of said protoype or whether it is even marketable.

3) It is obvious that many improvements have been made to the mold itself as well as to the process and the machinery. But none of the pictures you have shown show any improvement to the 2012 pictures.

This is why there is a BIG credibility problem to the current PROMOTIONAL PICS.
