Since Apple first adopted a titanium frame for the iPhone 15 Pro, it is the lightest and most drop-resistant. Many people are curious about how much titanium the iPhone 15 Pro contains. Is the frame really made of aerospace-grade titanium? ? Recently, a foreign YouTuber directly disassembled the iPhone 15 Pro Max, scanned it with an instrument, and threw it into a metal furnace for dissolution to check the real titanium content.
The Apple iPhone 15 Pro series uses solid-state diffusion technology to combine the titanium frame with the aluminum inner frame, and fuse the two metals using a thermal mechanical treatment process. In order to determine the titanium content of the iPhone 15 Pro frame,YouTuber JerryRigEverything First remove the outer frame and inner frame of the iPhone 15 Pro Max, and put them into a high-temperature furnace for heating and melting.
Aluminum alloy usually melts at 815.5 degrees Celsius, but the melting point of titanium metal needs to be as high as about 1648.8 degrees Celsius. The final experimental results showed that the iPhone 15 Pro titanium frame cannot be dissolved at the high temperature of the furnace, and it also appears clearly colorful after being burned, confirming Apple uses real titanium material.
From the results of the furnace experiment, it is known that not only the frame of the iPhone 15 Pro is made of titanium, but also the power button, volume button and action button are also made of titanium. Even the USB-C charging ring at the bottom is also made of titanium.
Finally, JerryRigEverything also tested the content of the titanium frame through an XRF spectrometer, verifying that the titanium metal of the iPhone 15 Pro is genuine grade 5 titanium material, which also contains aluminum, vanadium, iron and oxygen, and weighs about 18 grams of titanium.
Apple’s titanium metal revolution has also attracted the attention of many rival manufacturers. In the past, it was reported that major Android manufacturers also planned to follow the iPhone’s lead in using titanium metal in future models.
Why only Apple wants to use titanium material for smartphone frames so far? There are two main reasons. The surface treatment of titanium metal is difficult. If the technical strength is not enough, it can easily lead to defective products. Secondly, the manufacturing cost of titanium metal is much higher than that of aluminum alloy. , which leads to the fact that most Android phones today only use low-cost aluminum alloy as the casing material.
