iPad Interesting - SIM ejector not liquid metal

[xraydoc]

Picked up my iPad Air LTE today. I noticed the SIM tool is not made of the liquid metal alloy that the previous iPhone and iPad SIM tools were. Now it's more of a bent-in-to-shape single piece of stiff wire like a paper clip.

I wonder if Apple is done experimenting with that liquid metal tech that they bought a couple years ago.

The tool that came with my mini last year was the same material. The liquid metal ones are long gone

How do we tell if we got one made of liqud metal or not?

They stopped LM a long time ago. I have a couple LM sim tools. They are very hard to bend.
