At first, I was not sold on the idea that titanium is used in the telephone chassis, rejecting it as a marketing gadget rather than a really useful feature. But then I spent time with the iPhone 15 Pro Max, Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra, then their successors, the iPhone 16 Pro Max and Galaxy S25 Ultra, I made me a Titanium convert
My 180 -degree turn in titanium stems from my habit not to use any cases for flagship phones, as part of my appreciation for smooth industrial design. This does not mix with an inherent awkwardness and a unluckiness that often sees these expensive phones immerse themselves towards the floors and hard surfaces in one way or another.
Those who have a stainless steel chassis would tend to cottil, working and scratching, but the aforementioned titanium sport phones benefit enormously from the tenacity of the metal and essentially upset the accidental beats that I give them.
So I hope that more phones, including the next Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 7, use titanium.
However, despite its tenacity and relative lightness, the iPhone 17 rumor air will avoid titanium for an aluminum frame, all with the idea of maximizing slimming and lightness. We have heard this rumor a few times, with the last advice from the Blog of the Korean of Yeuux112.
The blog, which supposedly has initiated information or supply chain, says that aluminum will be used for the iPhone 17 air frame, because tenacity takes a rear seat in favor of lightness.
Leaving me alumi-numb
Having recently been at a wedding, I am everything for thinner and lighter phones that can help me avoid unwanted bulges in my costume (stop laughing in the back). But I do not want it to be at the expense of tenacity, so the idea of aluminum in the air of the iPhone 17 makes me raise a suspicious eyebrow.
I also like the head of iPhones; There is just something reassuring and superior quality with the old pro models and their stainless steel chassis.
Since then, I have embraced the titanium for the largest MAX phones because the lighter weight makes larger phones easier to manage with one hand. But much lighter would run the risk of ensuring that these flagship apple phones potentially feel cheaper than their list prices.
That being said, Apple can always be innovative from time to time, and I would not be surprised if the Cupertino crew works on a form of alloy or design which will put on the line between a super-light and a thin telephone and which will not be ruined by the strange fall.
We saw Apple doing it with its glass of ceramic shield, so we may see the advent of “aluminum armor” with the iPhone 17 air; Time will tell us, and it will probably be during an Apple event in September.
