iPhone 15 Pro I have never in recent memory remembered Apple having a product launch as bad as this one.

Oh good idea…I’ll grab a can of lighter fluid squirt on my 15p light it up and start a thread with photos 🌸
No. Some of y'all probably where in diapers when the iPhone 4 released and had the so called "antenna-gate"
I had a black iPhone 4 with a Spigen white bumper around it, what an awesome combo it was! 😉

Antenna-gate actually made bumper cases famous.
Back then social media was at its infancy. Can you imagine if antennagate happened in 2023?
Overheating was fixed within two weeks. And the heat is no worse than a modern Samsung phone.
BMW vehicles and power banks are 3rd party issues. I miss Lighting cables where we didn't have so much issues, but unfortunately there were too many people begging Apple to implement USB-C.
Burn-in doesn't seem widespread, and I've seen it in small numbers every year, both Apple and for Android.
I can assure you, there are FAR MORE iPhone 15 Pro/Pro Max users who have no issues. But we don’t report good experiences. We just enjoy the phone.
Bad components happen and getting all worked up over what seems to be a small number of people having issues is not really proper.
That’s when I noticed I didn’t have many people to call because the issue went way above my head.
This thread reads a bit like "now that I'm paying attention I'm noticing all kinds of things I didn't before."
Before everyone was a “tech” person just because they have a YouTube channel with a fancy camera 😂
This launch has been fine. As per usual, there are a few minor issues (in this case almost exclusively due to third party problems) that impacted a small number of people that made huge headlines.
There are 4 brand new iPhone 15 Pro Max phones in our house. All working flawlessly. In fact, the only person I know of that experienced any issues was someone I know online that had a heating issue ... which is due to Instagram. He stopped using the app, once Instagram updated their app, he was able to use it again, no problem.
This isn't a bad launch, at all.
Want a bad launch? Look at Mobile Me.
No mention of the iPhone 5C either, so it must be the most rock solid iPhone ever!
You do realize that the people on here and on the cesspool formerly known as Twitter are a very small subset of "customers" that do nothing but complain, because *checks calendar* it's new iPhone season and they have nothing better to do?
I don't doubt there have been issues, as there are every year but it's overblown and some, or should I say most people are doing so for clicks, views and engagement...
If I let my purchase decisions be dictated by clickbaity headlines and people on the internet I'd never buy anything. Same goes for YouTubers who spend $1,200 on the new iPhone just to take it in their hands and try to break it, or the ones who buy them just to drop them for a video.
I personally have never done either of these things in any of my normal use cases, but what do I know?
Buy the product if you want too, enjoy it and if there are legitimate issues with your device exchange it at Apple.

It depends on the device and its utility.
For example, I heavily favour traditional razors made with Titanium because they have utility.
As they are lighter than stainless steel, they require less pressure on the face and are thus
more comfortable. Titanium also has heat retention qualities which make it feel warmer
on the face as opposed to cold steel.
So, for a shaving razor, I see Ti as a strength, a positive with utility.
For a smartphone, I just don't see how Ti helps. My iPhone X is a few grams lighter than the IP 15 Pro
in Ti...yet the iPhone X has more heft and better balance in my hand...but of course I am used to
it so there is bias. I just do not see the utility in using Ti for a phone (which is not very heavy to begin with).
