Hardly the same, the 13 Pro doesn't have a 48 pixel main camera, nor a lot of the other features, it's also quite a bit heavier, no always on display, no dynamic island to mention but a few.
With all due respect, are you using an iPhone because it looks premium or want people to see you have a ‘premium’ phone? Who cares. I buy iPhones for the OS, the tech inside the phone, how it works with my other Apple products. It looking premium or not is subjective and a seemingly shallow way to judge the iPhone.
I’m not saying it’s not grandiose, but it would have been easy to take it even further:
I do miss Jonys soothing voice explaining how they meticulously polish the bezels like he's narrating a porn clip.
Same. It scratches by looking at it though. Just got it polished in fact, looks brand new. For a few days.
The biggest injustice I can see is Apple convincing people like yourself that 7000 series alloys are not 'premium'. In fact they are about as premium and innovative as you can get, not to mention environmentally positive.
Not everyone. I use a pouch to hold my phone when not in use. When using it it’s as naked as a jay bird. So, I am looking forward to the lighter weight and curved edges that won’t dig into my palm like the current sharp edges do.
Every other year? Maybe help save the planet and keep it a bit longer.
That’s true for any chemical elements an iPhone could conceivably made out of though.
I think it’s irresponsible that they hurled meteorites onto Earth to film that video.
It would be equally untrue. While both elements are formed in stars (like almost all elements except hydrogen), the atoms found on Earth will have originated in relatively nearby stars, not at the edge of the universe.
Just the bands are steel, but those are fully steel, from the looks of the x-rays.
That could well be the case.
The motivation for abandoning stainless steel is to reduce weight, which was slowly getting out of hand, and would only have gotten worse with next year’s size increase for the iPhone Pros. But for the Pros they also want a “premium” material to differentiate them from the non-Pros. Hence titanium.
Maybe it’s a wash due to the more efficient SoC.
It's not that it's expensive, but it's hard to work. Titanium chews through the hardest tooling like nobody's business.
Its one of the best networks out there especially for first responders. If there is a natural disaster, AT&T has radio bands available just for folks in the medical field who need to respond to emergencies. T-Mobile has something similar but its basically crap.
