After watching this video I’m blown away not really full titanium but
Got a tip for us?

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

Apple literally explained it in the presentation, particularly how they bonded the titanium outer frame to aluminum.
Mmm this is so dumb. Apple never said full titanium. So do you have one?
It'd be nuts if it were completely Ti, not because of cost, but because Ti conducts heat poorly. With previous Pro models, only the outside band is steel. In mid-frame has always been Al.
How did Apple deal with bonding the aluminum to the stainless steel in the past?
YouTube clickbait takes another victim.
They only explained it because they knew they’d be called out for it. If they could get away with it, they’d only say titanium and use lies-by-omission to make you think it was full titanium without straight up lying.
Who’s “everybody?”
Because please, who was actually expecting a full titanium cover? That doesn’t even make sense.

I guess the thread starter didnt think it worthwhile to watch the presentation or read any of the documentation before opening their big mouth.......
So you are a mind reader and know an entire corporations intent?????
How do some of you even work a computer?
it was already mention during the announcement . also titanium is not a good conductor, of cos it had to be bond with another conductive material internally , its the same thing with the nature of the materiel of titanium , while it has good tensile strength(dont really flex upon pressure ) , lighter , but the downside is titanium scuff and scratch easily and is not forgiving in terms of impact / shock absorption in comparison of SS . i am baffle with how easy to acquire information nowdays some people just do not take the time to educated themselves with a simple click of the internet, but relies on big title because everyone said so .
Goodness. In the Wonderlust presentation, the material was stated to be "the same alloy used on spacecraft". "Alloy" meaning "a substance composed of two or more metals or of a metal and a nonmetal" (Merriam-Webster Dictionary). If it's an alloy, of course its not 100% Titanium. Someone didn't pay attention in chemistry class.
Grade 5 Titanium does include 6% aluminum. But the frame itself is a composite sandwhich that is more aluminum than titanium. They did mention it on the presentation, but they sure didn’t give the impression that there is exactly 1mm of titanium and the shell is mostly aluminum ( as is the internal support structure).
They could have easily given a cross section on the presentation, but Apple just over plays everything at the moment.
If I was the OP I would have deleted this post already 😂

at this point i believe its more of a trolling rather then a genuine enquiry lol.
It boggles my mind how some of folks like the OP, could even think it was fully made of Titanium. Do they not realize how expensive the phone would be if made completely of Titanium? And do they not listen to the keynote where they clearly explain the composition of the materials used?
I stopped watching these videos. It is almost pointless. IMO
Another OP just pumping and dumping click bait videos and not responding to anyone.
Have the standards gone down for posting threads that much?

Sorry many of us do not watch day one clickbait videos you feed to us. BTW of course it is not full titanium.
A) Titanium is always an alloy and
B) different parts of a phone require different characteristics.
Duh
You express gross ignorance of metals usage in products.
lol not sure whether you were quite active in chemistry class either. An alloy is a homogeneous chemically combined mixture. The titanium frame is an alloy by itself(which is what Apple meant on stage). But the whole chassis with the aluminium and titanium components isn’t considered an alloy. Just welding aluminum and titanium or any two metals together physically doesn’t making it an alloy lol
So the internet is both mad that is it not enough titanium and also too much titanium.
