iPhone 17 Pro may forego titanium, instead get alumimum & glass

I believe this change is for reliability purposes. The shift from stainless steel to titanium on the iPhone offers no significant advantage, except for reduced weight. The surface texture on the iPhone 15 Pro has worsened, and the aluminum interior frame is far more prone to wrinkling when dropped. The harder titanium outer frame transfers impact energy to the interior, potentially causing severe damage inside the chassis, even if the exterior appears fine. The most rigid iPhone currently is iPhone 14 Pro, I believe.
I fully support this decision. If Apple decides to use a better grade of aluminum, such as the 8000 series, it would be even better.
It’s second time that Apple dropped titanium from their product materials. At least count PowerBook in.
