A new leak from anonymous insider ShrimpApplePro claims that the iPhone 15 model, similar to his iPhone 5C from 2013, will “round all the edges” in Apple’s move to go back in time. The iPhone 5C was one of Apple’s most comfortable iPhones for him, but the design was unpopular because the body was made of plastic. However, ShrimpApplePro says that the body of his iPhone 15 model will be made of titanium, so this error will not be repeated. This significant change was already leaked, but for cost reasons it was considered exclusive to the new iPhone 15 Ultra flagship. Titanium costs $35 to $50 per kilogram, and stainless steel costs $1 to $1.50 per kilogram, about 30 times more. Titanium has the same strength as stainless steel at only 40% weight and is 3-4 times stronger at the same weight, making it a popular material for aircraft parts. Plus, while it makes a lot of sense to combine extreme durability with a comfortable iPhone, it’s also a surprising direction from Apple, which has made iPhones heavier and more angular over the years. represents a transformation.
