The iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro Max will be the lightest Pro models since the iPhone XS

One of the updates to the iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro Max smartphones this year will be a frame made of titanium. Grade 5 titanium, also known as Ti-6Al-4V, is a titanium alloy used in various industries and is widely known for its corrosion resistance. As it turns out, titanium will not only affect the strength but also the weight of the gadgets.

Here's What It Costs

Bloomberg's Mark Gurman says that the use of titanium has helped reduce the weight of smartphones by 10 per cent. MacRumors confirms his words. Moreover, the publication has obtained the exact dimensions of the iPhone 15, iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro Max.

iPhone 15 Pro measures 8.25 mm (thickness) x 146.6 mm (length) x 70.6 mm (width) and weighs 188 g. Thus, it is 18 g lighter than the iPhone 14 Pro. The rest of the parameters are almost similar, although the thickness of the case has increased slightly - 8.25mm compared to 7.85mm on the iPhone 14 Pro.

The dimensions of iPhone 15 Pro Max are 8.25×159.9×76.7 mm and its weight is 221 g. The smartphone is 19 g lighter than the iPhone 14 Pro Max. By the way, the iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro Max will be the lightest models of the Pro lineup since the iPhone XS (177g) and iPhone XS Max (208g). It's worth clarifying here that the iPhone 11 Pro weighed the same as the iPhone 15 Pro - 188g.

iPhone 15 has the following dimensions and weight: thickness - 7.8 mm; length - 146.7 mm; width - 71.5 mm; weight - 172 g. Thus, the dimensions and weight of iPhone 15 are similar to those of iPhone 14. And this is not surprising, because the iPhone 15 will still use the same body material as the iPhone 14 - aluminium 6013 T6.
