They did plastic. People complained it was cheap. They did stainless. People complained it was heavy. They did titanium. People complained it was overheating the phone. They are now doing aluminum. People are complaining it isn't as durable.
People will complain no matter what they do. The vast majority of people are perfectly happy with their aluminum iPhones.
I think most people agree that steel or titanium are better than aluminum with titanium being the best. It is one of the reasons I’m keeping my 16 Pro and skipping this whole aluminum generation. Every ceaseless 17 Pro I’ve seen looks like shit in just a few months. This is clearly cost cutting on Apple’s part to offset rising chip prices
