iPhone 17 Launch Date Nears, Aluminum Frame Expected
The iPhone 17 Pro models are expected to feature ultra-thin bezels and a very thin aluminum frame, giving them a sleek and modern look, and the change from titanium to aluminum frames could be a significant one in the smartphone market.
Apple is planning to reverse its design decision and use aluminum frames for the iPhone 17 Pro models, instead of stainless steel or titanium frames used in the previous highest-end models, according to recent rumors and leaks from reliable sources.
The change, first reported by The Information's Wayne Ma, has been further confirmed by Instant Digital, a source known for accurately leaking Apple information. The aluminum frame is expected to be very thin, and the iPhone 17 Pro models will also feature ultra-thin bezels, giving them a sleek and modern look.
The reasons behind Apple's decision to shift back to aluminum are not clear, but it is likely due to the fact that aluminum is lighter and cheaper than titanium. This change could be a notable one, as the higher-end iPhone 16 Pro and iPhone 16 Pro Max feature titanium frames, which were seen as a premium feature.
The iPhone 17 series is set to be announced in September, and the new design is expected to be one of the key features of the new models. With the launch date nearing, fans and tech enthusiasts are eagerly waiting to see the new iPhone 17 Pro models and experience the new aluminum frame design.
