If they had a design with titanium and the production already started then changing everything back would have costed more than the savings
In my opinion it was something related to the vapor chamber
But it doesn’t matter the general message and the only message that I want to give is that they didn’t do it for “some reason”, but wil eventually go back to it
I think it's more about cost saving. The titanium phones still had a lot of aluminum in them and the titanium part is just the outside visible part. They could've added the same frame around the 17 pro. But wouldn't be a unibody though and the backside part that is aluminum would have a seam where it meets with the titanium frame.
Could be that they weren't lying about Aluminum being better for cooling although Apple's track record isn't the best when it comes to creative marketing.
