iPhone 15/Plus DO NOT BUY THE IPHONE 15 pro max - major major major problem

I’ve been doing calls left and right with no issue. Regular phone calls, FaceTime audio, Teams, WhatsApp. They all just work.
The number of newbie accounts that tried to create 'heatgate' panic and were praising the new Google Pixel crap is telling.
Always look for the 'newbie' subtitle before believing anything. Ask for evidence.
That's the state of the web today. Corporations conducting information warfare on each other. So you can't believe what you read. You have to see it, hear it or feel it to believe anything.
It could very well be a legit post, just poorly conveyed. Here’s their other post from last week:
I have not personally used the dial pad recently, rather just clicked on existing contacts.
Imagine the millions of iPhone 15’s in use that don’t have your problems. Yeah it’s silly when people post drama don’t buy threads then poof disappear again shortly after. 2nd phone exact same problems, your carrier or configuration is the problem.

Keep in mind that on MacRumors, the label of "newbie" doesn’t necessarily mean a newly created account. It is a reflection of how many messages the account holder has posted, not how long they have been a member.
In the case of the OP, despite the account being labeled "newbie", they have actually been a member here since 2010.

i believe i see your problem: your phone must be turned on to make calls.
On other news some guy who posted 9 times in 13 years have more problems with one phone than the millions of other users put together. He has so many problems with his phone that he even forgot the price of it.
Total bs. Geezus man get a grip
Software could easily be the culprit, but IMO, the software issue is probably app based and not iOS based.
Well, this is not a laughing matter, but at least Apple would be in good company: https://www.androidauthority.com/psa-google-pixel-911-emergency-calling-issues-3362990/
I tried calling 911 a few weeks ago on my iPhone 14 Pro and it would not dial on Wi-Fi, even though it had been enabled and my address info entered correctly.
I finally disabled Wi-Fi and was able to place the call. I have a poor signal with AT&T which is why I use Wi-Fi calling in the first place and have never had issues calling other numbers over Wi-Fi for years.
Thankfully, when I disabled Wi-Fi the 911 call was picked up by another carrier’s tower, which they are mandated to do, and got the help we needed.
I don’t know who is at fault for the repeated 911 call failures, it could have been Apple or AT&T for all I know. I just know that it did not work when I needed it. Regular Wi-Fi calling has always worked before and after that moment though.

My 15PM makes calls just fine. Also it has never over heated and there is no sharp edge on the back. Sure the OP isn't holding it wrong? 
Right, because the stock price is moved by MacRumors threads. 😂
You getting a lemon doesn’t warrant a warning about buying the product altogether.
If this was a widespread issue with this generation of iPhones then obviously reviewers would be dunking on it and buyers returning it in droves.
Yes, the excessive heat caused by certain apps was a real thing.
But this notion that iPhones 15 are a step down in quality from previous years is just absurd.
It’s nearly identical to the last 3-4 generations of iPhone. No way there’s suddenly no quality control or a faulty design.
I’m sure you can return it if you’re not just trolling us.

It is indeed moved by FUD corroborated by MR threads. Investor since 2003.
It’s called anti-marketing. A competitor will create spurious online accounts to post information that attempts to discredit the competing product.
I mean… you paid your phone bill right? That might fix it.
