Durability Issue Reported in New iPhone 15 Pro Models
The iPhone 15 Pro Max seems to be a big hit for Apple, with millions willing to pay big bucks for this year’s premium iPhone 15 series model. Industry experts have already discussed a quarterly delivery of more than 30 million units.
One of the main reasons for this demand is the unique camera technology and the new titanium coating, which is said to make iPhones lighter but more durable. However, a new report suggests otherwise, which may be a warning of sorts for people using the iPhone 15 Pro or 15 Pro Max without a case.
Apple’s decision to switch from stainless steel to titanium alloy has its pluses and one big problem. Based on the recent drop test videos of the iPhone 15 Pro models, it is clear that the titanium body does not give the iPhones extra durability. In fact, it looks more fragile than what the iPhone 14 Pro series offered last year.
If you check that many people have given feedback about the build quality of the iPhone 15 Pro series, the signs are not encouraging. Some have even said they won’t use the iPhone 15 Pro or 15 Pro Max without a sturdy case.
In some videos, we’ve even seen the iPhone 15 Pro’s camera module disintegrate after being completely removed from the device. The new material has made it easier for the iPhone 15 Pro series to get damaged, which is definitely a concern for people who are spending well over Rs 1.5 lakh this year.
Apple has managed to drop the price of the back panel of the iPhone 15 Pro series so dramatically that people weren’t sure if the deal was too good to be true. Well, if these tests are anything to go by, the price cut is starting to make sense as people might run to an Apple service center to fix major dents or scratches.
These changes mean that people should get Apple Care+ for their iPhone 15 Pro or 15 Pro Max, which is priced around Rs 20,000 and offers unlimited back panel repair or replacement for a nominal service charge.
