JAKARTA - Rumors about the iPhone 17 Pro returning to aluminum frames appear to be refuted. The leaker from the Weibo platform, known as Instant Digital, claims that the iPhone 17 Pro model will still use titanium material, as in its predecessor.

"The iPhone 17 Pro is definitely still titanium," he wrote. Why should you go back to aluminum?

He also stated that the framed material in the Pro series has been a major point in Apple's marketing over the past few years. From using the "stainless steel surgical class" to the transition to titanium on the iPhone 15 Pro, this move is considered part of Apple's strategy to strengthen the image of their premium device.

However, this claim has not been supported by concrete evidence from supply chains or other official sources. This statement is based more on opinions that refer to Apple's marketing trends over the past few years.

For the record, Instant Digital has previously provided accurate leaks, such as predictions for the presence of a yellow iPhone 14 and a camera control button that has now been realized. However, the track record is not long enough to be considered credible.

titanium material was first introduced on the iPhone 15 Pro. In addition to presenting a better force, titanium allows Apple to present new color variants without sacrificing device durability.

If Apple decides to return to aluminum, it is likely that the move will not be explicitly mentioned in marketing. This is because Apple had done the same thing when it stopped using titanium on PowerBook G4 in the early 2000s, due to scratches.

However, until the official announcement in September 2025, the question about the iPhone 17 Pro frame material is still being debated. At the same time, rumors also mention the presence of a new model called the Slim iPhone 17 in the upcoming line of devices.
