Apple could be looking past the typical glass, aluminum and steel construction for iPhone models beyond the iPhone 15, says leaker yeux1122 (via Dohyun Kim).
As yeux1122 tells it, Apple's got a team working on finding materials that are more resistant to drops, scuffs and also "contamination" than those currently found on iPhones. Among these new materials is titanium, which was already a metal tipped to be used on the iPhone 15 Ultra (although we may not see an Ultra model this year after all), and already found on the high-end Apple Watch Ultra. Regardless, it could also feature in the iPhone 15 Pro if the Ultra variant doesn't emerge this year.
