Long-term Apple analyst Ming-Chi Quo says next Apple Watch, likely to be called Apple Watch Series 6, will pack Liquid Crystal Polymer (LCP) sourced from Dongshan Precision, Avary Holding, and Flexium Interconnect. use of LCP will boost network connectivity (wireless/cellular) in Apple Watch Series 6 hopefully entailing in speedier, more stable connections across board.  

LCPs have a couple of unique vants that make this tech desirable for a bro range of applications and devices ranging from car sensors to optical cables. tech is said to offer consistent performance with minimal loss, and because it has a very low rmal expansion coefficient it can maintain stability across even at fluctuating temperatures.
