This could be one tough (and expensive) phone.
The iPhone 15 Ultra will be made out of titanium.If the rumour's true, it's good news for anyone who's prone to dropping their phone. Often used in aeroplane components, titanium is seriously strong. It's between three and four times stronger than stainless steel at the same weight and its strength-to-weight ratio means it can provide the same strength as stainless steel at 40 per cent of the weight.
We're not sure we want to know how much such a phone would cost, though. Titanium is one of the most expensive industrial metals, and it can cost at least ten times the price of stainless steel. That makes us wonder whether the rumours can be true, but Apple does seem to be seem to be searching for ways to justify more expensive products amid growing inflation.
"Inflation in the whole world, people even in first world countries starting to struggle to afford basic needs products. Apple: You know what? Increase the price for every previous device 30-50% and release an extra premium device! That’s going to work!" one person replied to LeaksApplePro on Twitter."5K USD for 128GB?" someone else suggested for the price tag.
