Overview

• Apple will not use resin-coated copper (RCC) in iPhone 17 due to durability and quality issues.
• The RCC material was intended to reduce the thickness of the iPhone's mainboard, freeing up internal space.
• This delay follows a previous postponement from the iPhone 16 to the iPhone 17.
• Future iPhone models may still incorporate RCC if the material meets Apple's standards.
• The iPhone 17 is expected to feature other upgrades, including a smaller Dynamic Island and enhanced cameras.
