Some of these arguments above: "Don't buy it then!", "Make something better then!" ... don't. Someone is just giving their opinion.
Should we post "Buy it then!" on every thread where someone says they like their new phone? We'd have nothing to read

They did it with the Ridge wallet. It was a disappointment as the color rubbed and scratched off easily. The multicolored effect looked cool until you started using it.
Burnt Titanium
Slim, RFID-blocking wallet comes in burnt titanium. The Ridge comes with replaceable screws and elastic. Free Shipping Worldwide and Lifetime-Guaranteed.
I picked carbon fibre and after a year of use there is hardly any wear - just the slightest surface wear. Actually Apple should go carbon fibre for the Ultra.
They scratched within minutes of coming out of the box.

I guess eventually Apple will move to platinum, and then diamond. That seems to be the trajectory haha.
In all seriousness, I wonder what materials are feasible and not feasible due to thermals and heat dissipation. Does it need to be metal for that reason? If so, I wonder if Apple will ever do an etched surface for better grip.
Not the same thing, but I remember how devastated I was when my iPod Touch 2 started getting scratches on the back :'(
For most of my stuff, I try to keep it in as pristine a condition as possible.
Not true, some lasted whole hours without scratches.
Interesting video. Watched it earlier.
Jerry said he was going to send out the titanium frame for testing to see how much and what grade titanium is it.
I'm personally hoping for the results to come back as a 4.75 grade titanium and then everyone losing their collective minds.

Because plastics really can't be recycled.
What we call plastics are many different types of polymers containing various impurities.
Even with rigorous sorting, plastic can maybe be recycled and reused once as a much lower quality plastic.
Overall, plastic recycling is a scam pushed by plastic manufacturers and we should avoid using plastic as much as we can especially single use one.
I went to the Apple Store today and thought I see the iPhone 15 pro in person. My thoughts are the phone looks the same as my iPhone 14 pro apart from it being titanium and the action button and the different back on the new iPhone. However I see no reason to upgrade. It’s quite underwhelming the 15 pro from what I already have
Yeah sure it’s got some spec bumps but to me it seems like the 15 pro is just a S year iPhone.
Yeah alright it’s a bit lighter than my 14 pro but I prefer the weight of my 14 pro as it is. And don’t even get me started on the new iPhone cases. They just look so cheap and weird to touch.
When I compared my phone side my side with the 15 pro I just felt the iPhone 14 pro appears to be more premium. That’s my own take though on the new iPhone.
However I do feel this is a good upgrade for those who are coming from an iPhone prior to 14 pro.

Oh man this brought back some memories. My 3G looked like it went to war and came back with all the stories.
Countless drops, keys scratching it, sand from the beach constantly eating away at every nook and cranny.
And I didn't care for one second. 🤣
Now if a spec of dust lands on my phone and the light hits it to look like a scratch I will be in therapy for an additional 2 months. What has happened to me
🥲
Mine just scratch from air. My iPod also.Oh man this brought back some memories. My 3G looked like it went to war and came back with all the stories.

I actually find I really like the materials of the Pro line. It feels great in hand, is lighter, and the coating on the titanium makes it grippy for me. The smooth edges make a big difference in comfort when resting the bottom of the device on my pinky.
Apple makes them heavy they hate. Apple makes them light...it feels cheap and hate. Enjoy your phones people. We don't stare at a phone we use it. Worry about the user experience.
Well the UI on the new phones is basically identical to the old. So comparing aesthetics makes sense in this case
Yup. Unfortunately, all of us including Apple cannot make everyone happy regardless our efforts to do better.
For the pro, It’s a bit like going from the 4s and it’s quality premium feel and heft, to the 5 which felt like a toy and someone forgot to put the insides in as it was so light.
So apparently it is Grade 5 Titanium! According to JerryRigs’ latest video. I am quite impressed. What are your thoughts?
