iPhone 15 Pro Max Titanium frame is brushed instead of shining. I am sure some people liked it and some people were disappointed. Is there a special polish that you can apply on your titanium frame to break it?

Actually it probably could be done but I have only seen grade two titanium polished. I am not sure on the grade three titanium. I worked in aviation for over thirty years and mainly we used brushed grade three titanium.

I'm glad they moved away from the polished frame. That thing was a fingerprint magnet! That's the main reason I've never wanted a pro model until now.

You would need to sand it down in 3 stages to prep for polish. This is not something you want to do to your phone.

Yes I would never do that with my Titanium blue iPhone 15 PM. But if I buy a natural titanium for my mom or sister, then they will demand me to get it polished to get shine, for them aesthetics are important they want their precious gadget to look like a peace of jewelry

I wonder if cape cod polishing cloths might be gentle enough that you can give it a go without destroying the frame before it goes too far

Get them a 14Pro/ProMax and it will have polished SS. Seems odd to purchase a new phone then intentionally alter the finish. You'll also render the warranty useless at the same time..
