Apple iPhone 16 Pro tipped to feature a glossy titanium frame

29 March 2024
Cupertino is allegedly moving to an improved material and color processing.

Sort by:

Shouldn't matter for the vast majority of people who put their phones in a case.

    If everyone uses cases what is this pointless Apple development for? Develop fast charging, remove dynamic island, provide a charging adapter in the box etc That's more useful.

      And then it comes out 2 months after the launch of the iPhone 16... Samsung, Xiaomi, and the BBK group!! We announced a brighter titanium frame hahahahahaha then these whiners say that Apple is not the one who sets the trends in phones haha

        Gee, I don't know. Glossy looks bling, but it smudges and annoying day to day. Brushed felt better when being held. I guess Apple go with glossy to amplify the new rose (gold) color bling, to attract Chinese buyers. Understandable, but not my cup of tea. Hopefully the non-pro iPhones remain matte like the current 15.

          As if the brushed frame wasn't already an absolute fingerprint magnet.

              ...at least for the first few minutes before you hold it and then welcome to Fingerprint Avenue.

                Titanium seems better with matte finish. No gloss.

                  Dr. Watson, 29 Mar 2024...are they really going back to a glossy frame? I thought ... moreThe glossy frame looks more premium than the brushed frame, I guess

                    ...are they really going back to a glossy frame? I thought the brushed finish was a lot better than the glossy one.

                    Edit: the comment below me really makes this look like a 'duality of mankind' situation lmao

                      That would be nice. I loved the glossy frame of the 14 pro, and would love to see it return on the 16 series
