Apple could bring titanium back to iPhones to improve heat dissipation: Report | Technology News

Published by Parlour News

3 min readMay 21, 2026 04:19 PM IST Apple may not be done with titanium just yet. According to a new leak from Weibo tipster Instant Digital, the company is reportedly researching improved titanium materials for future iPhone models after recently shifting back to aluminium designs. Apple first introduced titanium with the iPhone 15 Pro lineup in 2023, positioning the material as a premium feature for its Pro smartphones. Titanium replaced stainless steel, helping reduce weight while maintaining durability, and quickly became one of the defining design changes for the Pro series. However, Apple reportedly moved away from titanium with the iPhone 17 Pro, instead using an aluminium-based chassis. Reports suggested that thermal performance and heat dissipation played a major role in the decision, as aluminium conducts heat more efficiently than titanium. Apple reportedly sees aluminium as a compromise According to the leak by the 9to5Mac website, Apple still views titanium as a superior premium material and considers the shift to aluminium a “forced compromise”. The company is now said to be exploring a revised …

Watch how Apple 3D prints Watches by blasting powdered titanium with lasers

Published by Webster

If you compare the Apple Watch Ultra 3 with the Ultra 2, you probably wouldn’t be able to tell they were made with drastically different manufacturing processes. The titanium Apple Watch Series 11 and Ultra 3 are not only made with 100 percent recycled titanium powder, but are also 3D-printed, a process that’s pretty impressive at Apple’s scale. 3D printing creates less waste, in this case cutting raw materials usage for the watch cases in half, but introduces new challenges, like balancing speed and precision. Apple has released more details about its process, which involves blasting titanium dust with a laser. Over 900 layers of material, each 60 microns thick, go into a single watch case (for context, one micron is equal to 0.001 millimeters). The titanium powder used for the cases has to be fine-tuned itself to reduce its oxygen content so it won’t explode when exposed to high heat. Printing Watch cases, rather than using subtractive manufacturing, has allowed Apple to save an estimated 400 metric tons of raw titanium this year. Apple …

Published by Webster

Ace designer Ranna Gill’s show at the Lakmé Fashion Week x FDCI was worth every dime as her collection and her showstopper took everyone’s breath away. Talking about the collection, Gill said: “It’s an urban lady who lives a busy urban life but has her head stuck in a prairie. So, here’s Madhuri Dixit our urban prairie.” From “Flowers” to “Bella Ciao” and “Titanium” were played by a live musician on the saxophone and the flute as models, who seemed to take a dip in liquid gold, as they shimmered in Gill’s collection “Urban Prairie” strutted the runway.

Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 6 Said to Offer Slimmer Titanium Design but Will Avoid Dedicated S-Pen Slot: Details

Published by Webster

Samsung’s Galaxy Z Fold 6 has seen a barrage of rumours and leaks off late. Some of these are conflicting while others seem more believable given the brand’s rather relaxed stance on foldables despite plenty of new competition in the same space. The Korean brand’s Galaxy S series this year saw a noticeable switch from going big on specifications to a deeper focus on generative AI-features and we expect the same to happen with its foldable series this year as well. However, unlike regular slate-like smartphones, foldables are all about design. And the latest set of rumours attempt to point out what exactly has changed between the Z Fold 5 and the yet to be announced Galaxy Z Fold 6. The latest set of rumours come from two sources but appear to point out the same changes. The first set of freshly leaked information comes from X (formerly Twitter) by user @chunvn8888 who points out that the Galaxy Z Fold 6 just like the Galaxy Z Fold 5 will not have a silo for its …
