The Apple iPhone 15 Pro might shift to a titanium frame, which is a shift from the current stainless steel frame seen up to the iPhone 14 Pro models. The iPhone 15 Pro is also expected to adopt two new haptic engines to power the new solid-state buttons for the volume rockers and power button. The reports from Jeff Pu also suggests that Apple will be pairing the 3nm A17 Bionic processors with 8GB of RAM on the ‘Pro’ models.
