[OC] This knockoff iPhone 12 Pro Max has what appears to be a thin lead bar under the battery.

The metal is smooth, but not shiny. It is super bendable. As soon as I realized what it was, I stopped handling it and washed my hands.
Lead is heavy, but seems such an odd choice for a weight in a consumer device. It must have been cheaper or even free.

I don't think lead is clay like. I could be wrong, the only lead I have touch was fishing weights.

Per the Wiki, lead is a very soft metal.

I’ve used lead quite a bit for various things. It’s “soft” for a metal, but it is nothing like clay and is not “squishy”. It is relatively easily bent and will take a rubber hammer to easily form to shapes. I really can’t think of a material one would encounter in daily use that is comparable to the malleability of lead. So “very soft”, yes, but it is metal.

A good example is a bullet. It can get grooves from the barrel being rifled, but the bullet will maintain its shape for the most part when you dig it out of a tree.
Not sure how I got to this comment, you're going to be super confused why someone responded to a really old comment
