Interestingly six of these failures have occurred in a single social group of colleagues. Wifi issue? Company policy settings glitch?

He would be accused of spreading disinformation. People would say it’s click bait. In fact many here would not even look at it in the first place. They have said that many times since this launch.
Many people here have said they wouldn’t watch the videos even if he and his colleagues posted them?
Am I going to have to reread this long thread to find these many people?
Before I do, though, could you define many? Might be we merely have differing interpretations of what “many” means.
Not here, this is from past experience.
He can go to reddit. Posting your own video on YouTube could be considered self-promotion here.
Okay, got it.
I will buy two 15 Pro Max.

...you probably wiped the phone, sure ...but then just REINSTALLED YOUR OLD BACKUP !? 🤷🏼♀️
There is more drama here than on the show of The Kardashians 🤣
You are another one who’s been making it a mission to spread this bs everywhere. What’s the actual objective.
I have had the 15 PM since launch and no issues whatsoever really liking this phone! Hope you get it straightened out!
IMHO:
It's totally fair to write a post saying: “I have this serious problem with my phone and so do 5 of my colleagues. Before talking to Apple I would like to know if anyone else is seeing this or have a clue what’s going on”
What I consider not fair is to yell in CAPS that no one should buy an iPhone because you and 5 others have a non documented problem with it.

I have no agenda or objective other than free speech and allowing the dissemination of information so that members and viewers here can make an informed decision on Apple products.
Years ago I proposed a different engine for a sports car that didn’t sit well with the members. I was just bringing a new idea that solved the issue some had with performance. Like here, the fan boys ragged on the idea, attacked me personally and out of the blue I got banned from the site. A couple of years later Ford brings out the engine swap I envisioned. I was vindicated but still banned.
Bringing issues here will get noticed by Apple and help them trouble shoot early problems with their most valued product. If it bothers some that doing this drags down the image of the product so be it. But unless you are absolutely sure that issue is a lie, you have to let the person involved express it! Keeping issues with an iPhone quiet only lets the problem snowball and affect more users.
Sure some posts could be fake and just the competition or Android fans dragging down the brand. But most are legitimate issues as far as I can see and deserve discussion here.
Honestly, stopped reading here.
I still don’t understand why people always bring up price? Like if can’t afford it don’t buy it.. I spend 12-1300 a year on the newest iPhone all the time and when the new one comes out I give the old one away for free to my family.. I’m never like “oh it’s 1000 dollar phone I better get my moneys worth” like if you’re broke just say so .. it’s just money.. if you can afford it maybe go get a cheaper android
Slightly off topic but:
If you buy a Ferrari and it turns out it cannot drive, you are more likely to mention its price when you complain than if you bought a KIA.
I guess that’s why.
Good on you that you have so much money that you can hand them out for free like that. Really happy on your behalf.
Bad comparison. People who buy Ferraris know up front it's going to spend more time in the shop than on the road driving. That's part of the package.
I had and still have this problem on my iPhone 14 Pro Max. I think it has something to do with the dynamic island. Im on my third phone and the issue pops up everyone and a while.
Sounds like an eSIM problem with the carrier. Are you all on the same carrier?
He didn't disappear. He's trying to call us
It IS silly to dramatically tell the world not to buy a product just because you have what is pretty clearly a fringe case. My 15 pro max works perfectly. Same with everyone else I know who has one.
Sounds like carrier network to me as well - are you and your colleagues all on the same network? Have you had an eSIM plan before? Could the restore from your prior phone backup be causing settings conflicts?
Not exactly. Apple doesn't monitor this forum. It is an independent forum, not affiliated with Apple.
