Apple recently investigated the feasibility of titanium casings for its products, which include patents related to the use of titanium with special properties for future MacBooks, iPads and iPhones.
Compared to stainless steel, titanium has a relatively high hardness that makes it more scratch resistant, and titanium’s hardness makes it tough enough to withstand bending.
