Apple’s first foldable smartphone, widely rumored to be coming this fall under the name iPhone Ultra, is now said to sport a liquid metal hinge. This information comes from one of the most prolific leakers over on Weibo. According to this source, the development of the iPhone Ultra is progressing rapidly, and prototypes have already been shipped to carriers worldwide for testing ahead of the launch.
