Apple\u2019s \u201cAwe dropping\u201d event on Tuesday will finally solve the biggest mystery around the upcoming iPhone 17 Pro and iPhone 17 Pro Max. The fact that there\u2019s any mystery at all less than a week before the iPhone event is exciting on its own.<\/p>\n

iPhone 17 Pro design and materials<\/p>\n

iPhone 17 Pro details that we\u2019re confident on include the new starting price and base storage amount, the new camera bar design and what each camera can do, and a somewhat surprising shift from titanium back to aluminum for the outside frame. <\/p>\n

If Apple actually does use aluminum instead of titanium, it\u2019ll be a first for Apple\u2019s Pro phones. Aluminum\u2019s history with the iPhone goes back to the beginning of the model, but Pro models have always used titanium or stainless steel. <\/p>\n

In fact, titanium was a primary marketing point for the iPhone 15 Pro when Apple switched from stainless steel to the lighter yet stronger material.<\/p>\n

This year Apple is expected to only use titanium for the iPhone 17 Air, which, let\u2019s face it, needs the strongest case material possible to avoid YouTubers trying to make Bendgate<\/a> 2025 happen.<\/p>\n

Why Apple may choose aluminum over titanium<\/p>\n

For iPhone 17 Pro and iPhone 17 Pro Max, there are at least two perks to going aluminum for the first time. While titanium is lighter than stainless steel, aluminum is lighter than titanium. Better yet, Apple has a long history of anodizing aluminum in cool colors. Just look at the iMac line<\/a> and every standard iPhone sold since the iPhone XR<\/a>.<\/p>\n

For me, I\u2019m not even sure I could tell the difference between brushed aluminum and brushed titanium from just glancing at the iPhone casing. Lightness and color are easier to appreciate. Admittedly, I still have a fondness for the heft and shine of the polished white iPhone X though.<\/p>\n

sFor the reasons stated, Apple switching from titanium to aluminum for the Pro models isn\u2019t much of a mystery. It helps that unlike standard iPhone models, Apple discontinues<\/a> the previous generation of Pro models when a newer version comes along. That means iPhone 17 Air<\/a> will be the only titanium model in the lineup. iPhone 17 Pro materials won\u2019t be directly compared to iPhone 16 Pro materials on an Apple Store merchandise table.<\/p>\n

The biggest mystery still unsolved<\/p>\n

What remains a mystery, at least until September 9, is what material will make up the back of the iPhone 17 Pro.<\/p>\n

There have been two competing design rumors. One shows an all-glass back like we have on the iPhone 16 Pro. Another shows an aluminum back with a glass portion in the center.<\/p>\n

This illustration shows the two designs that have been used in unofficial iPhone 17 Pro design mockups:<\/p>\n

Two design possibilities; one outcome.<\/p>\n

If I were betting, I\u2019d put my money on the full glass back design. The camera bar design alone signals that it\u2019s the 17 Pro and not an older model. It\u2019s also consistent with Apple\u2019s iterative design approach, which evolves slowly and rarely changes radically all at once.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The metal-and-glass back is more visually striking, but I\u2019m not sure it\u2019s the better look. More durable? Maybe. It actually looks a lot like those fan-made iPhone Ultra design mockups<\/a> that became popular after the Apple Watch Ultra design<\/a> was revealed.<\/p>\n

For those reasons, I\u2019ll be surprised if the two-toned style is what we see on Tuesday. It\u2019s not a bad look at all, but I just don\u2019t think it\u2019s what we\u2019ll see for the iPhone 17 Pro and iPhone 17 Pro Max. <\/p>\n

\"A<\/p>\n

In the meantime, the mystery lingers for a few more days. Which do you prefer, and which do you think we\u2019ll actually see on Tuesday?<\/p>\n
