iPhone 15 Pro could feature a titanium frame — here’s why that’s a big deal

The iPhone 15 Pro could introduce a big change to Apple's premium phones — and we're not talking about the USB-C connectivity that's been tipped to replace the Lightning port in every iPhone 15 model. Instead, this change would be exclusive to the Pro models, and it would mean for a much tougher iPhone than ever before.

That's because it's possible Apple may use a titanium alloy as the metal of choice for the frame on the iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro Max. The move would figure to improve the durability of the new phone over previous models while also decreasing the weight. In addition to switching up the materials it uses for its Pro models, Apple's also expected to move away from the straight edges of recent iPhones for more rounded edges.
