From the video it's actually a good millimeter of titanium, which is more than I would have guessed.
Got a tip for us?

iPhone 15 Pro Max Everybody was tricked by Apple not really full titanium 🤣

But is it really more durable than just using aluminum all together? which would be cheaper, lighter and better heat transfer.
I am confused. So the iPhone 15 pro is not fully titanium?
The frame is, the internal housing is alum.
Ah okay but I think like someone else mentioned it here they do have it mentioned all over the Apple Store about the titanium of the new iPhone 15 pro.
Yes, just enough to maintain the structural integrity, while reducing weight.
titanium itself is low conductivity materiel. it has be bond or so called fuse with a conductive metal, ur device running on lithium obviously need electric to flow through yes ? If everything is made from titanium with low conductivity how do you guys use the device lol ?
People really need to start reading instead of just assume and bandwagon it or just base on titles lol.
But again i am not sure is titanium an ideal materiel for a device such as a phone.

Wait wait wait! You mean the chips, connectors, USB port, screen, speakers, microphone, and antennae are not made from titanium?!?!?!?!
Typical lying Apple telling me this phone is 100% Titanium and Nothing Else.

No, that is not true. The frame is mostly aluminum with 1mm of Titanium on the outside.
The fact that people are confused about this *still* is I think the point of the thread. I don't think anyone is seriously suggesting that all internal components need to be made of Titanium.
From a cross section of the frame, the darker metal is the Titanium. It was clear that there was an internal aluminum structure from the keynote, but wasn't clear that the Aluminum is a key structural part of the outside frame.
I'm sure this had some advantages, but the overall design, for whatever reason, is less robust to damage than the Stainless steel 14 Pro series, which seemed to do a better job of shielding the glass from damage.

Both aluminum and titanium are softer than stainless steel, so that’s not too surprising. It’s probably more down to the design than the material used though.
Yes, these posts are great. Hyperbolic nonsense which is obliterated in the replies. I think it’s good — allows the junk conspiracy theories to be exposed and sanitized via sunlight.
Plus anyone who took, quite literally, one minute to read the product description, or three minutes to review the iPhone 15 Pro keynote, would confirm the titanium-aluminum frame construction was clearly explained. Plainly, clearly, up-front disclosed and explained. No one was “tricked.”
The original post is hilarious. The replies are excellent, educating the public / consumers.

They would be better to use aluminum and stainless steel for the iphone 16. Titanium is too quirky for most people. Rounded SS will work and save weight if they apply the same binding process to the aluminum frame.
The iPhone 16 is a major update.

Yes! It's also got glass in it and copper and god knows what else!!!! Those dirty liars. 😅
How much titanium does it need to be a titanium phone? is there a specific percentage cutoff or is it more of a feeling thing? What is the criteria?
What, are you telling me the screen is not titanium??1!
Anyone know the composition of the Apple Watch Ultra case titanium? Is the Ultra 2 different - wasn't it supposed to be 3D printed or was that just a rumour?
You seem to be psychic. Please give me winning lottery number and also if interest rates will be hiked in next fed meeting.
