for the new iPhone 5 Apple has secured the 'exclusive use of a highly resistant material based on zirconium and titanium
Apple has signed a check for an amount not revealed, but certainly for exorbitant secure the exclusive worldwide perpetual license in the electronics of a material called liquid metal and already familiar to skiing or play tennis or golf.
This is a series of special alloys based on zirconium and titanium (ie a metal) which comes with a non-crystalline, amorphous, but which allows a higher resistance to mechanical stress the same titanium and at the same time it absorbs and returns the elastic energy in a manner far superior to the alloys used. The patent is held by the Liquidmetal Technology that has informed the SEC, the Commission on the American Stock Exchange, has reached an exclusive agreement with Apple. This means that no other company in the world can no longer use this material in electronics (I was using Nokia Vertu for its line and for some SanDisk USB stick).
remains to be seen who is investigating Steve Jobs plans to take full advantage of all the qualities of the molten metal that seems to also have a high impact resistance and scratch ability and acoustic details. And observers speculate already the plates the next 5 iPhone will be obtained with the liquid metal. And that the same can be done by the line dell'iPad and that of the MacBook Pro is currently derived from a single block of aluminum.
