Crease-free iPhone Fold hinge design might be impossible

A few days ago, analyst Ming-Chi Kuo said Apple would use liquid metal in the hinges of the upcoming iPhone Fold. According to his research, "Apple is focused on improving durability, enhancing screen flatness, and minimizing crease marks in its foldable iPhone design. To achieve these goals, key components like the hinges will be crafted from liquid metal using a die-casting process."

The analyst said Apple had previously used liquid metal for small components, such as SIM ejector pins, for years.
