Well - Titanium. But then we get into issues with mass availability.
There are a number of magnesium alloys which while not as tanky as titanium would be I think would be viable contenders to construct the chassis out of. You could still use an aluminium skin as it's much more attractive usually.
I've never seen an aluminium skin on a magnesium alloy. Does that work?
I thought iPhones were normally designed to feel heavier (and therefore more expensive) than other phones. The 6 and 6+ both weigh more than the 5s, although I'm not sure how it "feels" given the bigger size (I haven't held one yet).
