What
wait?
According to the report, one of the most significantChanges in design will include the use of a titanium alloy body. This material is currently only used on select Apple Watch Series 6 models and the Apple Card. But current iPhones are made of aluminum and stainless steel.
Why titanium?It is as strong as steel, but 45% lighter, twice as strong as aluminum, but 60% heavier. It is also more resistant to corrosion than many other alloys. True, there are also disadvantages - visible fingerprints. However, Apple's recent patent filings address this issue: Thin oxide coatings on metal surfaces can significantly reduce the appearance of fingerprints on devices.
But, most likely, such buildings will only be receivedthe older models of the family - if the naming principle remains the same, these will be iPhone 14 Pro and iPhone 14 Pro Max. It is reported that Foxconn will be the exclusive manufacturer of titanium frames for them.
In addition, the JP Morgan Chase report confirmsSome rumors about the iPhone 14: the abandonment of the 5.4-inch iPhone 14 mini and the return of Touch ID either in the side button or as an in-display fingerprint sensor.
