Apple led the way in introducing titanium chassis for the iPhone 15 Pro models, with Samsung following suit by incorporating a titanium frame in its Galaxy S24 Ultra. The upcoming Galaxy Fold 6 is rumored to also feature this durable material, while the Xiaomi 14 Pro offers a Titanium Special Edition exclusive to China.
Potential Changes in iPhone 16 Pro's Titanium Finish
A new rumor originating from Korea hints at a possible variation in the titanium body of the iPhone 16 Pro duo compared to its predecessors. According to a tipster named yeux1122 on the Naver platform, the iPhone 16 Pro and Pro Max might showcase a more polished and glossy titanium frame. This enhancement is expected to be a result of advancements in the manufacturing process. The new finish could resemble the glossy stainless steel bodies seen in previous iPhone Pro models, offering increased scratch resistance. Despite the potential shift in aesthetics, this shouldn't deter prospective buyers from considering the iPhone 16 Pro.
The existing iPhone 15 Pro models boast a brushed finish, granting them a less reflective appearance with a matte-like texture. This finish not only reduces fingerprint visibility but also minimizes the appearance of scratches.
Anticipated Changes and Features
Recent reports suggest that Apple may replace the Blue Titanium option in this year's Pro variants with a Rose Gold alternative, while the Black Titanium variant could be substituted with Space Black. The White and Natural Titanium colors are also expected to undergo slight modifications. Additionally, speculations indicate that the iPhone 16 Pro could introduce new features such as a capture button, a smaller dynamic island, larger batteries, and more.
