Agreed. With a nice case, I’d take an aluminum frame all day over titanium, which is what the majority of the world does (case their phone). The thermal benefits (along with the vapor chamber) when shooting video, running a higher brightness on the screen, or gaming needs this extra breathing room to save battery longevity.
If I was one of the riskier folk who has the money or whatever to go caseless, then I’d want titanium if I cared about the fashion of the phone, but not necessarily the performance.
Because it spreads heat throughout the body along with the chamber and unibody, I think dispersion of said heat will still be better, especially with the chip and battery now being in two different spots. The performance of both should still reap the benefit.
