Designer Parker Ortolani has posted that the AirPods Max (2nd generation) will be lighter by changing the housing to a titanium alloy.
Apple is expected to change the housing material of the iPhone 15 Pro series from stainless steel to titanium alloy, so it can’t be said to be a fantasy.
■ The point of this article that can be understood in 3 lines
1. It was posted that AirPods Max (2nd generation) would change the housing material to titanium alloy and be lighter.
2. It is highly likely that the housing material of the iPhone15 Pro series will be changed from stainless steel to titanium alloy.
3. Apple uses a titanium alloy as the housing material for the PowerBook G4, and has many patents.
Possibility of resolving the point that AirPods Max is heavy
Regarding AirPods Max, which has not been remodeled for a while, it is rumored that AirPods Max (2nd generation) that adopts a new body color will be announced, but there is no such thing.
Regarding such AirPods Max (2nd generation), Mr. Ortolani posted a prediction that the housing material would be changed from stainless steel to titanium alloy to reduce weight.
AirPods Max weighs about 1.5 times as much as the Sony WH-1000XM4, and it was pointed out that the neck gets tired when used for a long time, so weight reduction is considered a desirable product improvement.
We have a track record of adopting titanium alloy housings, and have obtained many patents.
Apple uses titanium alloy as the housing material for the PowerBook G4, and the iPhone 15 Pro series, which is expected to be announced next month, is also expected to adopt a titanium alloy housing.
It also has a number of patents related to the use of titanium alloy as the housing material, so it wouldn’t be surprising if it included the AirPods Max (2nd generation).
if Apple’s gonna go all-in on titanium, they should make the next AirPods Max titanium instead of stainless steel to reduce the weight
