Apple Inc. AAPL reportedly plans to introduce a new polished titanium finish for its upcoming iPhone 16 Pro models.
What Happened: A new leak suggests that Apple’s iPhone 16 Pro will feature a polished titanium finish. The leak, from a source known as “yeux1122,” states that the new manufacturing process will give the iPhone 16 Pro a more polished look than its predecessor, the iPhone 15 Pro, reported AppleInsider.
The leak also suggests that the new production method will result in a different finish for each color variant of the iPhone 16 Pro. The new titanium chassis is expected to be more polished and possibly more scratch-resistant than the current brushed titanium look of the iPhone 15 Pro.
