Both models feature a new refined brush texture, contoured edges, and the thinnest borders on iPhone. The Pro lineup is built to last, combining the strength of titanium with the toughest back glass in a smartphone and the industry-leading Ceramic Shield on the front.
iPhone 15 Pro models also only use titanium for the band while the internal chassis is aluminum. The titanium band is bonded with a new internal aluminum frame through solid‑state diffusion. This is an industry‑first innovation, using a thermomechanical process that joins these two metals with incredible strength.
CUPERTINO, CALIFORNIA Apple today announced iPhone 15 and iPhone 15 Plus, featuring an industry-first color-infused back glass with a stunning, textured matte finish, and a new contoured edge on the aluminum enclosure.
The body is an aluminum alloy but the back is glass to allow wireless charging and of course the front is the touch sensitive OLED display. The iPhone 15 Pro series bonds high grade titanium to the edge for greater strength.
The enclosure of the iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro Max is made of grade 5 titanium, unlike the stainless steel frame of previous Pro models. The display bezels have also been reduced from 2.2 mm to 1.55 mm. The phone is available in four colors: natural titanium, blue titanium, white titanium, and black titanium.
Be gentle with Apples new Titanium iPhone 15 Pro Max ... Yikes!
Does iPhone 14 Pro have titanium frame?
In simple terms, the use of titanium on the largest iPhone chassis not only made the phone notably lighter compared to the iPhone 14 Pro with its stainless steel frame, but also made what I considered to be a slightly-too-large iPhone into a device that's far easier to wield.
iPhone 15 Pro has a LTPO Super Retina XDR OLED display with a 6.1-inch screen (91.3 cm 2, 19.5:9 aspect ratio), and an approximately 88.2% screen-to-body ratio.
The 15 and 15 Pro are made from different materials. The iPhone 15 has an aluminum enclosure with a color-infused glass back, and the iPhone 15 Pro is made from titanium with a textured matte glass back.
What is the back of the iPhone 15 Pro Max made of?
Both the iPhone 15 Pro and 15 Pro Max feature a new titanium design. “The Pro lineup is built to last,” the company says, “combining the strength of titanium with the toughest back glass in a smartphone and the industry-leading Ceramic Shield on the front.”
Thinner Design: One of the key factors contributing to the fragility of the iPhone 15 Pro Max back glass is its thinner design. Apple continuously strives to make its devices sleeker and more aesthetically pleasing, often sacrificing thickness for design.
Slightly slide the back glass toward the bottom of the iPhone as you cut along the sides and top of the iPhone until the back glass is free. Caution: To avoid damaging the flex cables, don't tilt up the back glass more than 5 degrees.
Build-wise, the Pro phones have a titanium frame versus aluminum on the standard iPhones, but durability-wise, they're all glass sandwiches. Titanium does make the Pro phones lighter, but the iPhone 16 and 16 Plus still weigh less. Camera Control is the new button on the iPhone 16 range, and I'm getting used to it.
Grade 5 titanium is a fantastic material that is highly desirable for extremely demanding applications. As a result of higher production costs from vacuum melting and process costs rise and the higher value increases warehousing risk and storage expenses for manufacturers.
Available in 6.1-inch and 6.7-inch display sizes,2 iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro Max feature a strong and lightweight titanium design — a first for iPhone. This premium alloy — the same used in spacecraft — has one of the highest strength-to-weight ratios of any metal, making this Apple's lightest Pro lineup ever.
In Short. iPhone 15 and iPhone 15 Plus passed the bend test that the iPhone 15 Pro Max failed. Ceramic Shield glass on iPhone 15s is reportedly more scratch-resistant than Gorilla Glass on Android phones. iPhone 15 series rear glass panel replacement fees start at Rs 14,900 in India.
While iPhone screens have gotten stronger since Apple introduced scratch-resistant Ceramic Shield glass in the iPhone 12 series, it is still a wise idea to shield the screen of your iPhone 15 with a sturdy screen protector, as the screen of any of the best iPhones is not immune to scratching or cracking.
Conclusion. While the titanium iPhone 15 Pro offers several benefits, it is not exempt from potential damage. Scratches, lack of drop protection, and smudges are valid concerns. To safeguard your precious investment and maintain the device's pristine appearance, it is essential to invest in a case.
After extensive testing, we can recommend the iPhone 15 Pro models as superb high-end phones. Both models have fast and long-lasting performance, excellent versatile cameras, beautiful 120Hz displays, great battery life, ultra-premium design and materials, and super-fast transfer speeds via USB 3.
The cross-section of the chassis reveals that Apple has used approximately 1mm of titanium to overlay an aluminum chassis. The titanium is on the outside, while the aluminum is on the inside. According to the YouTuber, the current value of titanium means each iPhone 15 Pro Max will have about $30 worth of titanium.
