for all owners of iPhone 15 pro natural titanium,
Do you too feel stained after a few days and even when held against the light do you notice a black discolouration? at least in my experience and a minimal thing imperceptible to you?

No.
I’ve been using it caseless since launch day.
 
Been caseless and see nothing of the sort. I do clean my phone semi-regularly with a microfiber cloth and it looks as good at it did the day I took it out of the box. As long as I leave my screen off...

Do you have a picture to show what your referring to?

Oh? if you go to the Genius Bar and the dude says “it’s within spec”, return it while you can!
 
I've owned a couple of the natural Ti Apple Watches (Ultra currently) and found the green part of this sponge is the best to polish your Ti.

I've tried various other products but found this to work the best.

I haven't received my natural Ti iPhone yet but hopefully the same thing can be used for it.

I would suggest dollar tree - they have green stuff for $1.25 and yellow/green parts are much thicker.

Considering all colors of the pro's have a PVD coating on them I wouldn't recommend using anything abrasive on the finish

NO. Uncased Natural Titanium alloy 15 Pro Max has so far been superb for me.

I do not think the green brush will help to clean titanium iPhone. The harsh brush may damage the PVD iPhone coating.

Are we sure no one has any problems? I challenge you to hold it up to the light in the morning and see that there will be some minimal imperfection.
it is much more noticeable in external daylight!

Please share a photo of the issue.
 
Who is going to be the first to take one of these things apart and sand the coating off? I wanna see what one looks like in sweet bare titanium.

Construction and assembly are done to none-zero tolerances. IMO aggressively looking for some "minimal imperfection" is a fool's errand.

For the zillionth time, it is not Titanium, it is a Titanium alloy. Just like stainless steel is always some alloy.

My personal guess is that if one were to sand/cut/grind the Natural Titanium 15s we would see the same color throughout. Take a saw to yours and make some pix for us, I am sure it will go viral...

Has anyone noticed scratches under light on the camera section at the back? Not the circular notches itself but the back cover?
