Apple’s upcoming iPhone Ultra, set to launch in September, will use a liquid metal hinge—a technology the company has pursued since 2010. The foldable phone will also include a vapor‑chamber cooling system, according to a leak from Fixed Focus Digital.

The liquid‑metal hinge promises a thinner, lighter design, addressing long‑standing rumors about foldable iPhones. Rapid R&D progress has already sent prototypes to carriers worldwide for testing, indicating that the device is near final production.

Apple’s 15‑year bet on liquid metal may finally pay off, potentially setting a new standard for foldable smartphone construction. Consumers can expect a more durable hinge, while the tech industry watches how Apple balances innovation with mass‑market viability.

If the Ultra delivers on these claims, it will redefine expectations for foldable phones and solidify Apple’s leadership in premium mobile hardware.
