- Last month, a report stated the iPhone 17 Pro models would retire titanium in favor of aluminum.
- A rumor now suggests that Apple won’t make the switch and will stick to the same material.
- It’s hard to predict which rumor will turn out to be accurate, as they’re both plausible.
With the iPhone 15 Pro, Apple retired the shiny stainless steel frame in favor of brushed titanium. The iPhone 16 Pro models have similarly stuck to titanium bodies, while the standard variants remain aluminum-made. Last month, a report suggested that Apple would drop titanium next year by switching the highest-end editions to aluminum. A rumor is now contradicting the initial report and claiming the iPhone 17 Pro will, in fact, still feature a titanium body.
