Unlock the Future of Phones: Discover the Best Materials for Your Next Device
The Great Debate: What Metal Should Your Next Phone Be Made Of?
When it comes to the material used in phone manufacturing, there are a few options to choose from – titanium, aluminum, or stainless steel. But with Apple rumoured to be considering a switch from titanium to aluminum for their next iPhone 17 Pro, the question on everyone’s mind is: what’s the best option?
The Pros and Cons of Titanium
Titanium is known for its unique properties – it’s lighter than stainless steel but more durable than aluminum. However, it’s also more expensive and its coating is prone to scratching easily. This means that modern iPhone Pro phones often come in more subdued colors, which might not be to everyone’s taste.
In the past, Apple used stainless steel for its phones, which resulted in a heavier device. For this reason, the iPhone 14 Pro Max could feel like a workout in your hand.
The Lightweight Alternative: Aluminum
Aluminum is a cheaper and lighter option, found in many devices, including base iPhones and Galaxies. However, it’s not the most durable material and can bend, dent, or scratch easily.
So, What’s the Best Option?
If you’re looking for a durable device, titanium or steel might be the way to go. If you prioritize a lighter device, titanium or aluminum might be the better choice. And if budget and fun colors are your top priorities, aluminum could be the way to go.
