iPhone 18 Pro Expected to Retain Aluminum Casing, Mirroring Predecessor's Traits
The upcoming iPhone 18 Pro is anticipated to feature an aluminum alloy casing, according to a new report. This design choice is expected to carry over the same advantages and disadvantages observed with the iPhone 17 Pro, which transitioned from a titanium casing to aluminum alloy. The material is known for its efficient heat dissipation and general durability, though some iPhone 17 Pro owners reportedly identified an unspecified issue.
A new report suggests the iPhone 18 Pro will likely utilize an aluminum alloy for its casing, a material previously adopted by the iPhone 17 Pro.
The iPhone 17 Pro marked a shift from the titanium casing found in earlier models to an aluminum alloy. This change introduced a combination of benefits and drawbacks for the device.
Key advantages of the aluminum alloy include its high effectiveness in dissipating heat and its generally robust performance in durability assessments. However, some owners of the iPhone 17 Pro reportedly noted a specific problem associated with this casing material.
According to 9to5Mac, the iPhone 18 Pro is expected to inherit these same characteristics, bringing similar pros and cons regarding its casing material.
