This is a discussion thread for the "Liquidmetal Not Yet Realistic for MacBooks" story posted on the front page.
Besides the iPhone and iPad's SIM ejector tool (which is liquidmetal). I don't think we'll see a liquidmetal Apple product this year.
I didn't know it was liquidmetal. cool. what I use to eject the sim is a led pencil haha or anything long, thin, and pointy. if a liquidmetal iphone came out sometime in the future and looks like the one in the image, I'd definitely buy it.
Ugh that iPhone design is beautiful. I know it's not real, but it looks so nice... I hope they do use liquidmetal soon. I don't see why not, it's better than aluminium.
I don't really like the design pictured, it's not symmetrical like Apple devices usually are. Like others have stated, it looks like something Sony would produce. I do hope the next iPhone is made using liquidmetal, since the next iPhone is the one I'm getting. I don't think that's the greatest idea, because the amount of force required to eject the SIM could break the lead in the pencil.
Even if they don't make it with liquid metal, I do hope that the next iPhone has a re-design, or a big step up in it's hardware (not like iPhone 4 to 4S), as I'm planning on waiting to get the next gen, not the 4S.
IDK about stronger, but my aluminum MBP hasn't gotten a scratch. Pretty scratch resistant. And the aluminum is just more comfortable, looks better IMO, etc.
Mine hasn't gotten a scratch either. But how would you know if its more comfortable? Unless you received a liquid metal mac
