What grade aluminium in Apples products?

[LERsince1991]

so remember when apple change the iPhone to a higher grade aluminium? Did it improve the grade of other new products since as well or just the iPhone? I cannot find anywhere that lists the current apple product aluminium grades?

As far as I know the grades for the products are:

iPhone 6: 6061
iPhone 6s: 7075
iPad Pro 12.9": ?
iPad Pro 9.7": ?
Apple Watch Sport: ?

6000 and 7000 series. The 6s and 7 fall in the 7000 series where as everything else is 6000 series

Thanks, shame they didn't move everything to 7000 series, especially with the size of the iPad Pro (more susceptible to damage/ bending). Good to know! Although they do stand up to stress / drop tests pretty well still.

Watch sport is 7000 aluminum. It was the first product to use it, then the 6S adopted it and the 7.

Apple Watch Sport is 7000 Series. 6s is 7000 Series.

the aluminum around my ipad pro's smart connector is starting to chip away slowly, luckily i have apple care and will swap it out once it gets bad. the 6000 series is not good enough.

It is very likely that it's 6013 Alloy, it's cheap and strong. Nothing fancy. It's Aluminum the most abundant metal on Earth.
