Since Apple started to use stainless steel to make the body from the iPhone 12 Pro, although it has an excellent texture for users, the weight has also increased. Recently, many Android mobile phone manufacturers have advertised that they are lighter than the iPhone 14 Pro when they release their folding machines. You can know that it is time for Apple to reduce the weight of the iPhone Pro model.
Lighter and stronger
The latest news indicates that the body of the iPhone 15 Pro and Pro Max (or Ultra) will be made of titanium. In addition to having the advantages of being stronger and more durable than stainless steel, more importantly, it will be lighter. Currently, the iPhone 14 and iPhone 14 Plus with aluminum bodies weigh 172g and 203g respectively, while the iPhone 14 Pro and iPhone 14 Pro Max with stainless steel bodies weigh 206g and 240g; how much lighter will switching to titanium make the body?
Reduce body adsorption fingerprints
The website 9to5Mac reported earlier that the estimated weight of the iPhone 15 Pro will be 191g, while the iPhone 15 Pro Max is estimated to be 221g, which are about 7% and 8% lighter than the previous generation, respectively. In addition to reducing the weight of the fuselage, the titanium metal fuselage also has other advantages, such as being able to withstand high temperatures and being able to be anodized for coloring, and its matte texture can prevent the phone from being full of fingerprints. Unfortunately, the disadvantage is that titanium is more expensive than stainless steel, so it is rumored that the iPhone 15 Pro and Pro Max will cost $100 and $200 more than the previous generation.
