Titanium was always a bad choice for thermals. Now they have the Air as the princess phone and the Pros look designed to perform not to look, seems like.
Somehow they managed to make it heavier, 206g for the 17 Pro vs 199g for the 16 Pro. They’ve been hovering at around 200g for a while though, so as ugly as that phone is, it probably isn’t noticeably heavier than like a 13 Pro
So they went back to aluminum eh? The cheaper an weaker material is going bring the cost down, right? Right?

Aluminium is much lighter than titanium, so these phones will at least be lighter right?
I’m sorry to have to disappoint you. It keeps getting heavier (and larger).

More battery tho
The metal frame is a tiny fraction of the overall cost.
Aluminum was the better material for this use case. All that’s changed is Apple is finally admitting it.
