Apple's Foldable iPhone Bets on Liquid Metal Hinge and Titanium Frame

A rumor suggests Apple’s iPhone Fold will use a liquid metal hinge and titanium body to improve durability and weight distribution, featuring a crease-minimizing OLED display with a ~7.7-inch main panel and ~5.4-inch cover. Sources like Yeux1122 and Ming-Chi Kuo are cited, though mass production of liquid metal has historically been challenging. If true, the device could launch in H2 2026 as an eSIM-only model with a around $2,399 price.

Cracking the Code: Understanding Trailer Sway and Tongue Weight Physics

Trailer sway occurs when the weight distribution of a trailer is not properly balanced. If too much weight is located towards the rear, the trailer is more prone to sway and the motion can become progressively worse. On the other hand, having weight pushed forward helps counteract sway and provides stability. The ideal tongue load for a trailer is between 10% and 15% of its weight, ensuring a downward force on the hitch. Proper load distribution and understanding the physics behind trailer sway are crucial for safe towing.
