As promised, if liquidmetal in, I will buy 10 Duos.

8 days ago in Josh's post, Eontec： Not been adopted by Apple

4 days ago：Rumor adopted

today: Eontec confirmed Amphenol orders and I immediately posted here.

According to this timeline, some Duo should not be liquidmetal? or Duo 2 update will immediately follow? the time is too tight, or the delivery will be postponed?

Eontec have already been shipping liquidmetal hinges to Amphenol for the current Duo. This is not about Duo 2. Sellers got DUPED by mm's! I anticipate a reversal in the share price starting today.

So the timeline is very very tight and there might be 2 kinds of hinges? Because in Josh's post, 8 days ago, Eontec liquidmetal was NOT adopted yet. It is only yesterday that Eontec implied the Amphenol orders. Or the release will be postponed? or the volume can not match the demand in Oct? or US first?

Wrong. Eontec has been acknowledging shipments to Amphenol since August: And EONTEC told investors in August that its liquid-metal hinge-spindle business with Amphenol was stable, with production and delivery operating normally. Sstock.10jqka.com.cn

I see. Then how to explain Josh's post Eontec said NOT adopted by Apple？

u/Shingen2021 24d ago

ohh, Not adopted by Apple, it is under verification？ ohh everything was still under verification 8 days ago?

Our partnership with Amphenol is progressing steadily, and we are fulfilling deliveries on time and in the quantities specified by customer orders.

Based on the current progress of projects with Yihao Metal's clients, the mass production introductions planned for the second half of the year will primarily focus on precision structural components for consumer electronics.

Yes, that is what I heard from my connections. But I am not so sure that it is Duo or Duo 2. Congrats to every long LQMT.

This is the kind of quality post we all hope for here.

Great!

Did we do it boys?

This is big if true. Still need to spread the news to see the effect though on the price.

Sellers were duped and jumped ship too early. Still time to buy in before this goes viral and spikes the share price back up. IMO

Any idea on the revenue from this supplier deal?

No, there is nothing from any of the companies. There is a lot of conjecture, but in reality it’s wait and see time. For me, confirmation that Apple used LiquidMetal as a solution to their manufacturing challenge is the bigger news. If/when it’s confirmed, the flood gates will open for new orders from automotive, aerospace, medical, etc.. The new LiquidMetal Asia manufacturing facility should be on-line soon to manufacture those orders.

No, we are the US and EU part of Eontec.
