Apple claims that the titanium used on the iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro Max is better at controlling temperatures than stainless steel
The iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro Max use Grade 5 titanium instead of stainless steel, making both flagships lighter and better at dispersing heat than the previous material, according to Apple. The company has recognized the overheating problems that continue to plague the two models but states that the software and not the new design is the reason for this string of issues.Even if titanium is better at dispersing heat than stainless, it is not necessarily more durable
Speaking with Forbes’ David Phelan, Apple compared the new titanium chassis on the iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro Max to stainless steel that it used on previous versions for several years. While analyst Ming-Chi Kuo has mentioned that the use of titanium and an inadequate cooling solution are the culprits behind the overheating problems, Apple believes otherwise, according to Phelan.
