The body of the iPhone 15 Pro will be stronger, but lighter; but how?

Apple plans to design the iPhone 15 Pro body more resistant and lighter than the previous generation. But is this possible?

According to the available information from Apple’s iPhone 15 series, all models of this phone will experience great improvements compared to the previous generation.

It is expected that all the members of the iPhone 15 family will follow the iPhone 14 Pro models in terms of design and capabilities. Therefore, probably in all these models, Dynamic Island will be present at the top of the screen.

At the same time, the Cupertinos still plan to launch the Pro and Pro Max models of their phones with more diverse upgrades to introduce them to the market as their premium flagship phones and provide them to the enthusiasts.

It was previously reported that the iPhone 15 Pro will use a titanium body, which is a significant improvement compared to the stainless steel used in the iPhone 14 Pro.

In this regard, one of the well-known whistleblowers of Apple products recently announced the use of grade 5 titanium in the production of iPhone 15 Pro models, which has many advantages compared to stainless steel.

In the following, we introduce more of this alloy and its advantages compared to stainless steel.

The body of which iPhone 15 models will be made of titanium?

first time A Twitter user reported the use of titanium grade 5 (Ti-6AI-4V alloy) instead of anti-scratch steel in iPhone 15 Pro models.

In general, titanium has several advantages compared to steel, which makes the durability and quality of the iPhone 15 body better than the previous generation.

However, even if this alloy is used in the iPhone 15 Pro, we can still expect to see the use of steel in the construction of the standard models.

In general, the system of introducing new technologies by Apple is such that in the first year, it embeds its new feature only in its premium models, and in the coming years, it is used in cheaper models as well.

For example, last year, the Cupertinos for the first time used different chips in the Pro and non-Pro models of the iPhone. In this way, the regular and plus models of iPhone 14 use last year’s A15 Bionic chip; While in its Pro and Promax models, we saw the use of the A16 Bionic chipset.

In this way, this year we can expect that the A16 chip will be used in the regular iPhone 15 models, and the Pro and Pro Max models will be equipped with 3nm A17 Bionic chipsets.

Considering this issue, if the iPhone 15 is going to use grade 5 titanium alloy, the Pro and Pro Max models will be the first products to use it.

What are the advantages of titanium grade 5 compared to stainless steel?

Ti-6AI-4V alloy has many advantages compared to stainless steel. For example, the body of the iPhone 15 Pro is more resistant than the previous generation and will have more strength.

In this way, these phones will be able to better withstand shocks caused by falls or physical damage.

Additionally, Grade 5 titanium will be more corrosion resistant than steel. Of course, since many iPhone users use a frame behind it, we don’t need to worry too much about corrosion. However, more corrosion resistance will generally make the phone last longer for many years.

In addition, titanium grade 5, while being stronger than steel, weighs less in comparison! Therefore, by using this alloy, Apple can design the next generation of its premium flagships lighter than before.

It is not bad to know that the iPhone 14 Pro Max is one of the heaviest phones on the market and weighs more than almost all of its competitors.

Therefore, the use of Ti-6AI-4V alloy in the body of iPhone 15 Pro and Pro Max seems quite logical; Because making various Apple products lighter is one of the company’s constant goals.

What are the disadvantages of using titanium in the iPhone 15 Pro body?

Of course, in addition to all the advantages that were mentioned, the use of titanium also has disadvantages! For example, this alloy is generally more expensive than stainless steel, and its higher cost will certainly make the iPhone 15 Pro models more expensive.

In addition, the abundance of titanium grade 5 is far less than the steel used in the previous generation of iPhones. In the long run, this may cause problems such as the scarcity of iPhone 15 Pro models and skyrocketing prices.

The iPhone 15 Pro models also use a more premium design compared to the standard models, and their prices will probably be 100-200 dollars more than the iPhone 14 Pro and Pro Max models.

In a few months, Apple will officially introduce its iPhone 15 series along with the 9th generation Apple Watch. Previous reports have indicated a possible severe shortage of this series of phones in the days and months after the market launch. If this actually happens, probably the titanium body will be the reason!
