I laugh at the stupid titanium thing on the iPhone. It's such a stupid marketing ploy by Apple. Like, it's impressive of course, from a manufacturing and engineering point of view, working with titanium is always difficult and challenging. But Jerry Rig Everything disassembled the thing and the titanium is a 1mm veneer around the border of the phone. It has absolutely no structural or protective function at all. The frame is cheap and reliable old aluminum. And the titanium is covered in a disgusting plastic coat that peels and scratches just as easily as any paint over aluminum or plastic. It's such an obvious scam made to justify overcharging for a boring, dull and standard phone.
