Conflicting Rumors Emerge Over iPhone 17 Pro's Chassis Material

Speculation surrounds whether Apple will retain titanium for its premium iPhone 17 Pro models or switch to aluminum, with leakers offering differing claims.

  • Recent reports suggest Apple may replace titanium with aluminum for the iPhone 17 Pro's chassis, a shift from the material introduced in the iPhone 15 Pro.
  • Leaker 'Instant Digital' disputes this claim, asserting that titanium will remain a key feature of Apple's high-end models, though no concrete evidence was provided.
  • Apple has historically emphasized premium materials like stainless steel and titanium as selling points for its Pro series, raising doubts about a potential switch to aluminum.
  • The ambiguity may stem from differing terminology, as Apple already uses aluminum in the internal frame of its Pro models while referring to the outer band as titanium.
  • The iPhone 17 series is expected to launch in fall 2025, with other rumored features including new display sizes and advanced A19 chips.
