How much 'Titanium' does iPhone 15 Pro *actually* have? - NO SECRETS HERE!
Today we completely dismantle a new iPhone 15 Pro Max to see how much titanium Apple has overlayed onto their aluminum frame. Anker Nano USB-C Fast Charging Lineup for iPhone 15 on Amazon: ankerfast.club/HNUBgh and on Anker.com: shop.anker.com/21iTX8 According to lab tests, the 5,000mAh Anker Nano Power Bank can charge an iPhone 15 to 79%. Power loss from internal components may prevent a full charge.
Titanium is a really expensive material. Titanium is also EXTREMELY difficult to work with. But its really cool to see how Apple has assembled their new iPhone 15 Pro Max from the inside. We also take apart Apple's Tetra-Prism camera to see how the 5x Telephoto lens functions.

This might be the most destructive teardown he has ever done
Yes indeed
Yeah, sad to see he didn't try putting it together :))) Maybe he could've glued the chassis back together or smth, would be a fun video to make though
Lmao I was reading comments while the video was playing and I saw yours and thought huh, it's not that bad... Then he brought out the angle grinder 😂
Right in front of my OSHA handbook
What about the first folds? Edit: whoops lol I didn't watch until the end before commenting 😂
An angle grinder is something I won’t expect in a phone teardown💀.
the fun part was watching it take 10 seconds of so to get through the 1mm titanium, an less then a second through the aluminium.
@@DavidKnowles0yeah that was so cool

Wow. I used to own a cell phone repair shop with a friend. We were typically working on anything from iPhone 4’s to iPhone 8’s which were the latest version at the time. Each new release would have a simpler internal design and be easier to work on. (Less parts, screws, etc). Looking at this video it seems they’ve moved back in the opposite direction.
Did you see the add "going balls" 🤨💀
@@tyreseferry7525 no what is it
I believe the reason the back glass broke in your durability test is that giant circular hole in the frame that leads to the battery. It creates a bit of room to flex the glass past its breaking point.
Which one should I buy 15 or 14 pro?
14 pro, since 13 series there is a huge difference between pro and standard models@@roshanrathod2091
@@roshanrathod2091I would pick the 14 Pro because I am used to a 120hz display and think it's a big plus in day to day use. It also has the ultra wide lens. And it's a nicer stainless steel build. :)

Facts are Apples largest enemy
I felt like he gave the iPhone a lot of props - all the recycled materials especially the 100% recycled cobolt which he said was a really big deal that not many are talking about/realising. Also he praised their work with the Titanium as well as its fused construction and grade and also the tetraprism he seemed to really be quite excited for, so yeah for someone who obviously “doesn’t like Apple” he kinda gave them a good review imo
@@MaticTheProtoSamsung largest enemy is Apple because they kept on mocking them through Ads and Apple just keeps on ignoring them 😂
I think it's hilarious imagining the phone going through the production process and being packaged and sent out it's new loving customer and the phone seeing Jerry opening it up and the phone thinks "oh dang it that's me screwed"
"oh dang it that's me unscrewed"

phones only Happy when they are replacing Jerry primary phone.
The way apple describes it, i suspect the aluminum and titanium is bodned via diffusion welding. However, due to the dissimilar atomic structure of the metals an extremely thin intermediate layer of something like nickel or copper would be necessary. Diffusion welding is when two metals are heated up enough to where their atoms can diffuse into eachother. Forming an extremely strong bond without having to worry about stresses caused by thermal shock or the compromised properties of the heat affected zone.
Another method would be a grippy 3D structure in the Ti surface (like inverted indents), then the molten or sprayed Al could solidify into a mechanical attachment .
I wonder if it’s just a thin coating of titanium applied to aluminum, similar to how end mills are coated with Ti with a thin, essentially sprayed at a few atoms thick over the phone until it reaches X number of atoms thick, probably 1000 or so.
10:32 “Ten Thumbs up to You” for this ultimate tear down and the work you have put in.
the new "foil" is known as an Electromagnetic interference (EMI) strip. we use them on aircraft for static and stuff like that around our electronics to prevent unwanted noise or interference in an electrical path or circuit caused by an outside source.
Super cool! Thanks for sharing!
Very cool, do you also use ferrite beads on cables in aircraft?
Then why TF do air hostesses tell us to switch off our phones😕 USE MORE FOIL MAN!
@@donsicariofxprobably cuz of Murphy's law 😂
@rrrandommman I personally worked on harriers so I can't say for every aircraft but I don't recall any ferrite beads
Recent Materials Engineering graduate here: solid state diffusion doesnt need a glue or epoxy or anything like that, they put the metals in direct contact with each other and then heat them up to a certain fraction of the metals' melting point (dont know what that fraction is, i didnt focus on metals too much) and then the ions inside the metal will just shake around and actually bleed from one metal into the other metal, binding them into a single piece. It's kind of like when you pour milk in coffee and you can see the milk bleed through and mix with with the coffee. They just stop the metals diffusion after they've combined rather than letting them completely mix.
Most valuable comment in the entire comment section
So basically they make a titanium and aluminum pizza. 😂😂😂
So essentially you make a press fit and then redden the metals to bond them harder? Or do they just have to fit together, without any particular pressure?
Why hasn’t Jerry liked this comment yet?
That seems difficult considering titanium melts at a much higher temperature.
Very useful video. This is a 100% maximum effort and it is very interesting to see the technological development paradigm towards the use of several materials that are actually strong on smartphones, even though only on the frame and not the glass itself.
Where does the phone turn off? There's a crystal that broke, do you know what it's for?
This is really a very useful video. You have clearly explained the facts under this topic. Thank you very much for presenting such an important video.

@lindholmaren why say God willing inthe wrong context
The inside of the lens is beautiful. I finally understood how optical stabilisation works. In old canon cameras, it’s the lens that stabilises but here the sensor stabilises the video.
"Finally understood how optical stabilization works" and " but here the sensor stabilizes the video" are contradictory sentences - if stabilization happens on lens - > optical - if stabilization happens on the sensor -> IBIS/sensor shift -> also it depends on how many axes of movement correction are possible i.e. 3 axes or 5 axes.
@@dadanardi5541 now it's more clear. So optical refers to lens. And IBIS is sensor.

Solid state diffusion is based on atoms from each metal actually swapping place at the surface, effectively fusing them into one piece. Very cool
Werd
Ah! so it's akin to explosion welding... How do they do it on a phone frame tho? Some sort of friction has to be involved in order to create the weld.. Ultrasound?
@@SuperPhexx they heat both metals to near melting point, then smush them together
@@CS-pl8fc Nah... that would cause the aluminium to completely melt when they are smushed together due to the huge difference in melting point... You're right that they somehow melt them together tho, but it's definitely not done with heat.
@@CS-pl8fc Temperature is only a part of it. I think you have to drastically change the pressure so that the the phase properties of the materials change. There's a bunch of videos out there on it.

The way they fused the two frames together reminds me of the old "unibody" macbooks, where it was made from two pieces of aluminium that were epoxied together and the adhered part was right above the air vents, causing it to melt and break thanks to the heat. Engineering excellence.

@@hankrearden5460same
Bruw, the infinite wisdom of Apple strikes again
I think it’s actually much more complex than that, and literally heats up and pressurized the two materials so much that the atoms from the aluminum can diffuse into the atoms from the Ti, creating a bond stronger than any weld or epoxy
When you see teardown videos like these you can only but respect the work that these phones need to be made and all the fascinating technology coming with them. Thanks for this awesome video Jerry!

3:01 loved the stereo on that part.
This video is informative and entertaining for us thanks❤
The only way to top this would be to melt the outer frame to separate the Aluminum out. Aluminium has almost a 1000c lower melting point than Titanium so should be fairly easy and it would wonderful to see the liquid metal.

Welcome to the fam, make yourself accustomed to the uncomfortability that comes with expensive phone teardowns and durability tests.
@@michaelmarquez6133the world's a big place, and so's the internet. I've been shocked at how lots of famous online creators I've been following for ages trigger no recall in others I've met, and vise versa (i.e. I have no idea who people younger than me are talking about sometimes)
Keep watching, you will learn a thing or two about glass scratches.
If Apple is using actual solid state diffusion to bond the two metals then it's no joke. That would involve crazy high (near the thousands of degrees) temperatures to the point where I would seriously question their whole carbon neutral shpiel. And from the cross-section, it does seem like the metals seem to be physically bonded to each other. Also that TETRAPRISM turning out to be a regular ass paralleloprism gave me a chuckle.
😂
Anyone with basic common sense can tell that that whole "carbon neutral" is just marketing stuff.
That can be done with electricity, an as long as that electricity is source from renewable then it could still be carbon neutral.
Paralleloprism is what they required, and still performs good enough
So they'd basically heat it up to produce a thin layer of alloy at the interface of the two metals? Titanium melts at 1668 while Aluminium melts at 660, so I'm not sure how that's supposed to work. Titanium and steel should honestly work a lot better.
How nice to have audio in Portuguese. Thank you very much 🇧🇷
I liked this too
Funny and instructive. I loved it.
Would be nice to see the cut edges sanded down to clearly see the connection between metals.
I think that the reason the back glass broke so easily is because of that gigantic hole in the internal frame, it's large enough that it'd bring no support to that specific part of the back glass, and as the battery is only being held by those adhesive pull tabs, they don't have enough strength to hold the battery enough so that it keeps the back glass from bending to the point of breaking
That hole is for the wireless charging, right?
Well, ig spending 2900 USD on an Iphone 15 pro max isn't worth it if it takes my bare fingers to completely shatter the back glass.
Right, probably the 15 pro has the same "weakness" if pressed exactly at the middle of the wireless charger.
I thought the same thing
@@alexandruilea915didn't Jerry test it with a normal one in the last video? Or was it a different one than 15 pro (or non pro version?).
