$LQMT I just checked and the Huawei foldable uses the LiquidMorphium, so there appears to be something to the info I wrote below. My guess is they also aren’t using normal Liquid Metal due to the Beryllium content. That’s good news.
$LQMT 2nd part of my message below.
Can you imagine the publicity Apple would receive if they did that. Assuming Lqmt is a vendor of apples, the real question for me is the material being used for the hinge liquid metal or is it Liquidmorphium. If it is Liquidmorphium then the revenue LQMT may receive could be much higher than we all think. This also means that we are not restricted to other consumer products, even if Apple is a competitor. I will keep researching this, but thought everyone would find it very very interesting. Stay strong and long.
$LQMT So has anyone read up on why Apple may not really have ownership of the IP being used in the hinge of the iPhone. Based on the agreement Apple made with Lqmt in 2010(when they were desperate for cash), Apple gave them $$$$ for all of the existing IP rights that liquid metal had up until February 5, 2016. Any IP developed after that point, Apple does not have rights to would require some sort of royalty or agreement. Here is where the story gets interesting. The older formulation for liquid metal contains a toxic material, beryllium. In March of 2016, Luger-Li’s investment of $63 million in liquid metal occurred. That is when a cross licensing agreement which brought Liquidmorphium IP into LQMT. Liquidmorphium, does not contain beryllium, and does not cause cancer. Consumer products cannot contain known carcinogens, regardless of whether it’s safely encapsulated in a solid alloy form.
$LQMT i am on the side of this is the new material. I could be wrong but after years of silence we know the factory is being built. We know the hinge has been running though another factory for other customers. We know Li is a quite man. He is making the moves that says we are indeed his next plan. Our material offers strength parameters never seen or used with these new applications. Robots being one and space, the website says medical as well. Unless its all a lie as some think and had to be considered at one time, recent developments says it isnt a lie. This is real im long and
$LQMT another readonbi say ut will gro slowly is because apple doesn't want to replace it's highly prised iphone standard phone market by a foldable phone that evetyone wabts hence the highet premium price. It cant afford to losecan established revenue base to ge be replaced by a foldable phone that takes years to be accepted and to meet supply versus demand
$LQMT i think apple will put in mure investment into lqmt to ascertain the hinge supply to them first and to maybe open a dedicated apple hinge factory in usa exclusively for apple products. Why not. Apple is worth 3 trillion. They can afford it
$LQMT lqmt stringer thenvtitanium and flexible so it will take over all titanium based products because its stronger and flexble which titanium isnt lqmt will be the new metal standard in MN egical fields and robotics etc
