However, the inspection of the iPhone 15 Pro Max’s titanium frame did not garner as much praise. While acknowledging that titanium production is less eco-friendly compared to stainless steel and aluminum, iFixit pointed out that this material is susceptible to easy scratching. In a somewhat tongue-in-cheek manner, the teardown video remarked, “Regrettably for the cool factor, we observed that the titanium shell’s color is prone to scratching, a phenomenon that only becomes apparent under the magnifying lens of a microscope. One could seemingly scratch this surface endlessly.”
