Apple finally unveiled its first USB-C iPhone last week, allowing a select few to get their hands on the device, but their hands are a bit of a problem. Some of those who have handled the iPhone 15 Pro have reported that simply touching the new titanium frame can leave unsightly marks that are difficult to remove. Apple says that’s normal—it’s a property of titanium iPhone users are just going to have to accept.
For the last several update cycles, Apple has used stainless steel in the iPhone Pro frame. It was heavier but more durable than the aluminum seen in the base model iPhone and virtually every other smartphone in the world. Titanium is even stronger, and can be lighter when combined with an aluminum mid-frame in the case of the iPhone.
