Well I am in the city that famous for selling iPhone to earn profit for many years. This year you would lose money even you got the pro on the first day, which is a new record for low market demand.
Got a tip for us?

iPhone 15 Pro I have bought case and screen protector for 15 pro, but will still skip it since too many kinds of reported problems

The demand is there. Early November for a 15 Pro max here in the US
This seems overblown a bit, like always.
My 15 PM is totally fine. It got warm (warm, not hot!) during setup just like every other iPhone I’ve set up since as long as I can remember. I actually said it out loud to myself during setup “it’s an iPhone alright”. 😊
I can recognise that the titanium and its lesser thickness plus rounded edges will make the phone less durable than my 13 Pro. You can’t have it all. I guess I’ll know when I drop it the first time. 😊 I do not use a case but have AC+.

I think I’m not alone in moving from a normal Pro to a Max this year due to the weight reduction and the slight but noticeable smaller size. In hand I feel that my 15 PM is the same weight as my outgoing 13 Pro, which it’s not, the PM is still heavier. I don’t know what inertia trickery Apple did, but I think the 15 PM is spot on weight wise.
Geezus where do people come up with this stuff over a phone?
It wouldn’t matter cause anyone who had a pro had stainless steel did they not?
yeah agree, that must have been why the line was blocks long at Apple Store yesterday here!😄 They sales guys kept saying 'everyone wants the pro'. I stand in that same demographic, where I had the pro max last year but got rid of it due to weight (not really size) and used a 14 Pro. With that being said, not sure if it's must me but having a difficult time understanding now why anyone would buy a plus, given how similar NOW these two are in weight and same size... (I get the $300). I was a at an event last night at the 15 PM camera took amazing portraits!
Stainless steel and titanium have similar thermal conductivity, but it also depends on the alloy they use.
Im not sure of this but i think the chasis of the stainless steel phones is made of the same material as the frame. Thus the phone “tecnically” has worse thermal disipation as the 15 pros chasis is from aluminum which has the best thermal
Conductivity of all 3. Normally the phone dissipates heat “vertically, through the screen and back chasis, the rest spreads through the phone, only the side where the SoC is the only one who would warm up.
No one has ever been worried about thermal conductivity with stainless steel since 2017 so nothing to worry about now, it will be probably on par with last iphones.
Although i think they should address heat disipation better, specially now that phones are procesing so many heavy stuff like raytracing, games etc etc. a heatsink or some kind of graphite like they do on macbook air would be nice.
What is a bit concerning is the stuff about 15 PM toasting a bit, though i think the people who found out are seeking it deliberately, on a day to day and with things that are not gaming i dont see it happening, it might get warm as all iphones do but not 48ºc. It still feels weird anyway because it should be the “coldest phone” of the pro’s giving the surface area. I can suspect it might be because of ios 17 being new or maybe different factors, time will tell.
Battery isn’t worse. Wait two weeks when the phone is done indexing everything then do the test
Titanium blue 15PM upgraded from 13PM. This phone is rock solid with none of the mentioned issues.
Caseless and loving it!

Not knowing which Ti alloy Apple used, it’s hard to say but it’s certainly much worse than Al. Most of the heat is likely due to A17 simply being more power hungry.
I never base my decision to purchase or not purchase something on YouTubers. Never regretted any purchases or not getting something. Most of them earn with click bait crap, objectivity doesn’t get them clicks.
I always test/review devices for my use, if it isn’t good fit, the device goes back.

Titanium is only used for the outer frame - something that none of the hot internals touch anyway. Aluminum is still used for the internal structure.
Apple makes a phone heavier to feel more “premium” - users complain that it’s too heavy
Apple shaves 10% off the weight - users complain that the phone feels “cheap.”
Must be nice to life in your life full of such first world problems 🙄

It is mainly the surface feel like plastic and look like plastic too.
Hot still need to pass through the titanium layer to release to outside.
IMO it is an error to be paying serious attention to day one clickbait nonsense. Day one UTubers wanting to sensationalize is not where anyone should go for info on purchase decision making.
I mainly look at posts over here with at least few other users confirm the problems.
Nothing wrong with this, or even checking out reviews on YouTube. When you're spending $1K+ on a phone from a company that's supposed to be offering superior products (as reflected in the price they charge), it's totally legitimate to want to make sure you're getting the right amount of value for your money.
