Reports suggest that Apple’s upcoming iPhone 16 Pro and 16 Pro Max models will feature a switch from titanium frames with a brushed finish to more polished, glossy frames. According to insider yeux1122 on the Korean platform Naver, this change will be achieved through advancements in material and color processing techniques.
While the new frames may not be entirely scratch-resistant, potential new color options like Space Black and Rose could still appeal to consumers. Despite this, it’s anticipated that improvements such as thinner bezels and repositioned cameras for larger batteries will also be included in the new models.
Although these details are currently just rumors, more concrete information is expected to surface in the coming months.
