...why should Apple use BMG???

In spite of the hundreds of posts about liquidmetal and its future use in the mid-frame of iPhones, my guess is that the mid-frame is not where Apple will use liquidmetal. To paraphrase Joshuaeyu, the mid-frame is a Me Too part. Liquidmetal offers no significant advantage as a mid- frame. (The key word being “significant.”) The hinge in foldable phones, on the other hand, is a Me Only part. I can think of no material other than liquidmetal that offers the strength and elastic properties necessary to make ultra-thin hinge parts. So my thinking is that Apple will use liquidmetal and they will use it in the hinges for their future foldable phones.

On that note, about a month or so ago I read that in late 2021 Apple will come out with a hinged phone, and that Apple will capture over 50% of the hinge phone market... more than Samsung, Huawei, Oppo, etc. combined. I don’t know if that’s true or not, but if Apple comes out with a hinge phone, the hinges are likely to be made of liquidmetal.

1gb - 10gb should be the speed we get on 5G, when you reach those speeds, heat becomes a problem, along with ‘continuity’, interference with continuity is a big problem with 5G.

5G atm is sparsely deployed, its fair to say aluminum and SS could do the job, for now, with boosted 4G speeds, I’m curious if we will hear more stories like this?...what happens when 5G becomes commercial? End of 2021, I can see mass installation occurring with microcell base stations, makes me think why has none of these should up as revenue?
