Apple was the first to adopt titanium chassis on the iPhone 15 Pro models. Samsung followed suite with a titanium frame on its Galaxy S24 Ultra. The next-generation Galaxy Fold 6 is rumoured to come with the same material. The Xiaomi 14 Pro is also available in Titanium Special Edition although its limited to China.
Now, a new rumour out of Korea reveals that the titanium body could be different on the iPhone 16 Pro duo compared to the current-generation offerings.
iPhone 16 Pro may have a different titanium finish
A tipster yeux1122 on the Naver platform reveals that the iPhone 16 Pro and Pro Max’s titanium frame will have a more polished and glossy finish. This is said to be attributed to the improved manufacturing process. The devices will look similar to the glossy stainless steel body on the previous Pro models of iPhones. However, the new process could come at a cost as it will reportedly be less prone to scratches compared to stainless steel models. This shouldn’t dissuade potential buyers from getting the iPhone 16 Pro.
The current-generation iPhone 15 Pro models have a brushed finish that is less reflective and gives a matt-like appearance. They’re less prone to fingerprints and reduced scratch visibility.
A recent report revealed that Apple could ditch Blue Titanium on this year’s Pro variants in favour of a Rose Gold option. The Black Titanium option will be replaced by Space Black. The White and Natural Titanium colours are expected to look slightly different. Other rumours suggest that the iPhone 16 Pro will have a capture button, a smaller dynamic island, bigger batteries, and more.
