According to a source, the iPhone 16 will not have the same titanium finish as that of the iPhone 15. The difference would be visible to the naked eye and it is possible to get a glimpse of it.
If the design of the iPhone 15 did not radically differ from that of its predecessors, there is one point on which the Pro and Pro Max models marked a clear difference. They are the first to adopt the titanium to constitute the frame of the mobile, here with a brushed finish. A choice that is not just aesthetic. This generally makes it possible to obtain a lighter smartphonewhile brushing makes the material more resistant to fingerprints and scratches.
While the news regarding theiPhone 16 are arriving more and more regularly, like those on its more versatile capture button or its even thinner borders, the question is whether Apple will keep the brushed titanium for the most high-end models of the new series. It is too early to say with certainty, but according to a close source, the Cupertino company was preparing to offer something new.
The titanium frame of the iPhone 16 would not be that of the iPhone 15
The leaker Yeux1122 holds the information “of a related company” at work on the iPhone 16: “Unlike the 15 Pro model, the iPhone 16 Pro model is said to use a method that improves titanium processing and color processing. As a result, it is possible that the material will be replaced with a shinier material, even if it does not There will be no external scratches or scratches compared to existing stainless steel“.
If the source is true, it’s pretty easy to get an idea of the titanium finish of the iPhone 16. In the photo above, you can see the difference between the brushed titanium of the iPhone 15 Pro Max (in top) and thepolished stainless steel of the iPhone 14 Pro Max. As for the polished iPhone 16 titaniumimagine that of the 15th, but without the characteristic scratches of the brushed effect. The result will indeed be brighter, like on the iPhone 14, which probably won’t please everyone.
