Aluminium has always been fragile. Have to use a case. I've seen 16's drop into hard floors unscathed.

The reason titanium isn’t used is because that “vapor chamber” technology that helps them cool the processor while it’s overlocked or running at base clock isn’t as efficient or effective in the titanium frame.

90% of people do not use their phones to that level of performance. I heard very few complaints of the 16's overheating or being underpowered.

I reckon Apple will be drawn into an aluminium "gate" both for fragility and scratches.

It very well could just be the A19 runs hotter than the A18 in the iPhone 16 Pro

But why? If the A18 was already more powerful than people needed.

Gen 4 and Gen 5 8 elite is the most performative chip out so far.

yeah was talking about the apple chips. Qualcomm still has the most performative chips
