Leaks regarding the new iPhone 15 have increased over the past weeks, and Forbes magazine has quoted some of its specifications from sources it described as reliable. PatentlyApple also mentioned that “it was confirmed in two new supply chain reports from China that the current stainless steel frame in the iPhone will be replaced by a titanium frame in the iPhone 15 Pro.” And leaks spread regarding the titanium frame of the iPhone 15 Pro and Pro Max in reports last year, but no more information was revealed in 2023. However, PatentlyApple confirmed that there are requests for titanium that have been submitted by the “Hon Hai Group”, the main supplier. For Apple, to produce the iPhone 15 Pro, and it will be shared with its subsidiaries such as “Hong Zhun” and “FII”. And Forbes notes that titanium is expensive ($35-50 per kilogram, versus $1-1.50 per kilogram for stainless steel), adding credibility to many reports that the prices of the 15 Pro and Pro Max models will rise this year. She points out that this step has benefits, as titanium has the same strength as stainless steel, but is 40% lighter, and 3 to 4 times stronger than the same weight. The combination of light weight and extra durability makes a lot of sense, as iPhones are some of the heaviest smartphones on the market. For example, the 6.5-inch iPhone 14 Pro Max weighs 240 grams, while the 6.6-inch Galaxy S23 Plus weighs 195 grams. And Forbes says that this is a logical trend, because the leaks also indicate that the new devices will have larger screens, and therefore there is a need to reduce weight while maintaining durability and wear resistance. A few days ago, the Phone arena website, which specializes in news from the world of mobile phones, reported that Apple had started “storing” the new version of its iPhone 15 at distributors. The site says that the company wanted to avoid display problems that occurred when version 14 was released, as many people gathered in front of sales sites, some of which were devoid of devices for a relatively long period. It is rumored, according to the site, that Apple will start producing iPhone 15 parts earlier than last year. The site also says the company is “optimistic” regarding sales, as it expects to ship 89 million units this year. In contrast, 78 million iPhone 14 units were sold during the same period last year. The iPhone 15 Pro and Pro Max will likely be powered by a new processing chip, have a titanium frame, and some models may have a periscope telephoto camera to enable optical zoom and shoot small objects.
