I've noticed that the power button on my iPhone 15 Pro has inconsistent feedback. When I click the button at the bottom half, it sounds like I think it should sound (a "deep", subtle click), but the top half but the top half is noticeably higher pitched, a bit harder to press and overall feels cheap (at least cheaper than the price of the device would suggest).

I'm thinking about returning it and getting a new one, but I wanted to hear from you guys whether you experience similar behavior. I assume most people wouldn't even care, but I'm pretty sensitive to this kind of stuff.

I immediately noticed that too on my 15PM. My sisters 14PM has a more satisfying clicking sound. Maybe that’s the difference between Ti and SS. Not really a big deal for me. Still returning mine because of a dead pixel tho 🫤

I noticed the exact same thing on my 15 pro except the lower half of the Lock Screen button has a very loud click while top half seems normal. I took it to apple and they said its normal but to me it isn't. I had the 15 pro max on launch then traded that in due to size but the buttons were not making that loud click.

Good luck getting a new one in less than a couple of weeks.

I have the same issue. Top half feels normal and easy to press, bottom half feels harder to press and makes a metallic clicking sound. I went to the Apple Store and they cleaned it out. Somehow felt ok for a little bit but now I’m thinking that we all psychosomatic cus it has returned. What did you guys end up doing to address it?

I noticed this on my black 15 pro and the 15 pro max in natural titanium didn’t have this issue…
May do an express replacement…
