Korea's Electronic Times News , citing "industry sources," that Apple will use liquidmetal in the Next iPhone, and Samsung will use ceramics in the upcoming Galaxy S III phone, "because neither one of them can get a decisive edge over the other solely with its OS and AP [app?] specifications, features or design."

Apparently the only thing people really care about is what the phone case is made of.

sounds excited at any rate. "Both the iPhone 4 and the iPhone 4S [already] use a SIM card ejector tool made with Liquidmetal technology," he explains. "The iPhone 5 may well be taking what might have simply been an experimental usage here and expanding it across the body of the device."

Like adding a liquidmetal 32-pin dock housing in addition to the SIM card ejector. It may not be a full housing of liquidmetal but for something as awesome as liquidmetal more is certainly better.

For what it's worth, the ET News story claims that the "new iPhone is expected to make its debut at the Worldwide Developers Conference (WWDC) in San Francisco in June." The "is expected" means that ET News relies on other rumor sites.
