iPhone 17 Pro Models Rumored to Feature Aluminum Frame Instead of Titanium Frame

Quick Summary:

Last year, fellow Apple analyst Ming-Chi Kuo said the iPhone 17 Air's frame would use a mix of titanium and aluminum, with a lower amount of titanium compared to the iPhone 15 Pro models.

In an investor note with research firm GF Securities, obtained by MacRumors this week, Apple supply chain analyst Jeff Pu said the iPhone 17, iPhone 17 Pro, and iPhone 17 Pro Max will all be equipped with aluminum frames.

And now, it has been rumored that Apple will go back to using aluminum for three out of four iPhone 17 models.
