1. New Colors in Polished Titanium Last year’s iPhone 15 Pro lineup made a big material switch, dropping the stainless steel frame that had been used in Apple’s premium models for years for a new aerospace-grade titanium that offered even more durability at substantially less weight. However, one of the things that got lost in that transition was the shiny frames that had adorned Apple’s prior Pro models. The duller brushed titanium isn’t bad, but it also doesn’t convey luxury in the same way as the reflective metallic sheen of those earlier iPhones. Rumor has it that Apple wants to return to that classier look and has found a way to improve the titanium processing for a more polished look. The color process is also said to have been improved, which could mean some more exciting colors this year, too.
