Body and Design

Apple iPhone 15 Pro Max features a strong and lightweight titanium design — a first for iPhone. This premium alloy —used in spacecraft — has one of the highest strength-to-weight ratios of any metal, making this Apple’s lightest Pro lineup ever. The model features a new refined brush texture, contoured edges, and the thinnest borders on the iPhone. The Pro lineup is built to last, combining the strength of titanium with the toughest back glass in a smartphone and the industry-leading Ceramic Shield on the front.

Using an industry-first thermo-mechanical process, the titanium bands encase a new substructure made from 100% recycled aluminum, bonding these two metals with incredible strength through solid-state diffusion. The aluminum frame helps with thermal dissipation and allows the back glass to be easily replaced. iPhone 15 Pro Max will be available in four stunning new finishes, including black titanium, white titanium, blue titanium, and natural titanium.

Overall, notable on the Pro Max are:

• Titanium design
• Ceramic Shield front
• Textured matte glass back
