    Wake me up when we get some actually original designs that aren’t just sandwiches of fragile glass. I want to see some leather, stainless, aluminum, quality plastics, etc again. I will never take claims of durability seriously when phones are made with pointless glass backs.

    “It’s been confirmed today in two new supply chain reports from China that Apple’s iPhone 15 Pro will indeed replace the existing stainless steel frame with a titanium alloy frame.”

    TL:DR: who cares.

    On one hand: Cool, titanium is strong and light weight!

    On the other hand: Titanium can be brittle and Apple knows this from experience.

    TLDR; no one will notice a darn bit of difference, stainless steel is probably cheaper and stronger in the ways that matter for a ~6” phone with glass panels that will break before either of those materials, and really how does it make any usability upgrades in any meaningful way?

    Oh good, they’re making it slightly bigger 🙄

    No mention and probably no hope of a new mini.

    Heck.
