iPhone 15 Pro’s Titanium frame is stronger, more expensive than Galaxy S24 Ultra’s

Apple’s iPhone 15 Pro and Samsung’s Galaxy S24 Ultra use a Titanium frame. A recent teardown video indicates that Apple’s Titanium frame used in the iPhone 15 Pro series is stronger and more expensive than Samsung’s Titanium used in the Galaxy S24 Ultra.

YouTuber JerryRigEverything shed light on the amount and kind of Titanium Samsung is using on the Galaxy S24 Ultra. Zack obtained a scanner to identify the S24 Ultra’s metals, which reveals most of the internal structure is made of Aluminum, while the exterior frame is made of Titanium.

It has been revealed that the company is using Grade 2 Titanium on the Galaxy S24 Ultra, whereas Apple uses Grade 5 Titanium on the iPhone 15 Pro and Pro Max’s frame. Grade 5 Titanium is much more durable and stronger than Grade 2 Titanium.

It makes the iPhone 15 Pro more durable than the S24 Ultra from the frame’s perspective. Apple also uses a solid-state diffusion process to bond the Titanium band with the inner frame, whereas Samsung uses over-molding to inject plastic between the Aluminum and Titanium.

Samsung is probably using $3-5 worth of Titanium in the Galaxy S24 Ultra, while Apple is possibly using $10-15 worth of the material in the iPhone 15 and 15 Pro Max.
