iPhone 17 Pro will retain the titanium frame design

According to a report from leakster Instant Digital on Weibo, Apple will continue to choose titanium instead of aluminum as the frame material for the iPhone 17 Pro, mainly for marketing purposes. The expert emphasized: "Why switch to aluminum? That's confusing."

There is no way the iPhone 17 Pro will use an aluminum frame

He also pointed out that in recent years, Apple has focused on promoting premium frame materials for the Pro line, from “surgical-grade stainless steel” to “titanium.” As a result, he asked, “How do you switch to aluminum?”

It's unlikely that the iPhone 17 Pro will abandon the titanium frame.

While he’s not always accurate when it comes to Apple leaks, he did get the iPhone 14’s gold color right and predicted the new camera controls. Of course, Instant Digital’s latest comments are also largely subjective and unsubstantiated.

According to Instant Digital, Apple has been heavily promoting titanium, but there is no reason to believe that the company will change this strategy. If Apple decides not to use titanium, it may not mention it in the future.

History shows that Apple stopped promoting the material after discovering that the titanium used in the PowerBook G4 was prone to scratches in the early 2000s. However, the titanium chassis introduced with the current iPhone 15 Pro doesn’t have the same issues and is available in a variety of new colors.

The iPhone 17 series is expected to be announced in September 2025, which will likely include the iPhone 17 Air model with an ultra-thin design.
