Famous analyst and internal source Jeff Pown investors that according to MacRumors, Apple's upcoming folding iPhone will have a framework made of titanium and aluminum mixture.
Pow assumed that Apple will expand the use of titanium, which is expected to be used in the 2026 iPhone Fold and iPhone Air. This is not the first message to use multiple metals of the folding iPhone. Other internal sources have previously reported.
While Pow claims that Apple will use Titanium and Aluminum, but circulating about titanium and stainless steel alloy.
Folding iPhone nodes are supposed to be made of stainless steel and titan, while the circle itself will be made of titanium.
The news assumes that the folding iPhone will be in open 4.5 mm thick, which will make it even thinner than the iPhone Air. In order to prevent the deformity, such a thin device will require the strength of the titanium. Apple has already used the titanium iPhone Air, and this choice has been successful, as the multiple trials have shown the high resistance of the device to the deformity.
Folding iPhone, as expected, will be part of the iPhone 18 and will be released in September 2026.
