Of course it is not. Profit is what keeps Apple's shareholders investing in Apple.

Other What Reason Will Apple Give For Titanium Back To Aluminium?

I remember when you discussed the different grades etc, but personally the brushed natural Titanium frames look better aesthetically. There is no reason why Apple cant make Aluminium look almost the same though.
Yes, but the material “downgrades” as one might call them, even if I don’t necessarily agree, we’re never highlighted.
When the bands on the back of the iPhone 6 went to plastic from the previous iPhone 5S’s glass windows, apple didn’t say a word. They talked about how the new devices were bigger, they talked about how they were curved, they talked about how they were newly designed, but they never once mentioned the fact that the back went from aluminum and glass to aluminum in plastic.
Same with a change from stainless steel to aluminum from the iPhone 4S to 5, they talked about how the iPhone 5 was taller, they called it a “magnificent jewel”, but they absolutely did not mention how the sides technically were “downgraded” from stainless steel to just aluminum.
It’s likely the very same thing will happen this year, Apple will talk about how the iPhone 17 Pro has a “beautiful new aluminum and glass design”, but you will never see them directly compare it to the previous titanium edges.
