Apple’s new generation of iPhone 15 series this year, four models are expected to debut in mid-September, and it is rumored that the iPhone 15 Pro series, which focuses on high-end flagship positioning, will be the first to use a titanium alloy frame for the two models, which is durable It is better than the stainless steel of previous generations, and it helps to “slim down” the weight of the fuselage. It means that the hand-holding experience will change from the past bulky and hand-sore troubles after holding it for a long time.
As for replacing the body frame made of titanium metal, how much weight will it reduce compared with the stainless steel body frame? According to the data given by the foreign media 9to5Mac, taking the 6.7-inch top-spec iPhone 15 Pro Max (or iPhone 15 Ultra) as an example, after being equipped with a titanium body frame, the overall body weight is expected to drop to about 221 grams.

iPhone 12 Pro Max weighs 226 grams;
The iPhone 13 Pro Max weighs 238 grams;
The iPhone 14 Pro Max weighs 240 grams.

As for the 6.1-inch iPhone 15 Pro, also equipped with a titanium frame, foreign media 9to5Mac estimates that the weight of the body is expected to reach 191 grams, which will be 206 grams heavier than the previous iPhone 14 Pro, and successfully reduce the weight by about 15 grams. . For reference, based on Apple’s official website’s announcement of the past three generations of Pro models, they are listed as follows:
The iPhone 12 Pro weighs 187 grams;
The iPhone 13 Pro weighs 203 grams;
The iPhone 14 Pro weighs 206 grams.
It is expected that the weight of the iPhone 15 Pro body this year will only be about 0.4 grams heavier than the iPhone 12 Pro.
