“It’s been confirmed today in two new supply chain reports from China that Apple’s iPhone 15 Pro will indeed replace the existing stainless steel frame with a titanium alloy frame.”
TL:DR: who cares.
Wake me up when we get some actually original designs that aren’t just sandwiches of fragile glass. I want to see some leather, stainless, aluminum, quality plastics, etc again. I will never take claims of durability seriously when phones are made with pointless glass backs.
Oh good, they’re making it slightly bigger 🙄
No mention and probably no hope of a new mini.
Heck.
I too would love a new mini. There are dozens of us! Dozens!
On one hand: Cool, titanium is strong and light weight!
On the other hand: Titanium can be brittle and Apple knows this from experience.
TLDR; no one will notice a darn bit of difference, stainless steel is probably cheaper and stronger in the ways that matter for a ~6” phone with glass panels that will break before either of those materials, and really how does it make any usability upgrades in any meaningful way?
