iPhone 15 Pro Was titanium a misfire?

Nope. It's good. I have the 15 Pro, Series 7 Titanium watch, and Ultra 2 watch. Titanium is my favorite material, out of aluminum and steel.
the only negative imo is the colors. i hope its just apple having a brain fart. if they're stuck with crap colors every year because of whatever ridiculous method they have for making the frame then it was a bad choice.
Biggest one is that it don’t conduct heat effectively.
And with the new chips apparently substandard but instead of being disposed of - were used anyway and that is why the phone is heating up. Maybe they should have just used curved matt stainless steel instead.
More than last year I actually feel sorry for day one purchasers and now I’m looking to give them some good news - but this launch just seems cursed! But TMSC growing substandard products and having to use them because there is nothing else around does not bode well for the early units.

Oh right, i had the watch ultra for a few days before i returned it so i do have a little experience with it.
i liked it.
Nope, its way lighter than before and easy for me to handhold during driving, just like my iphone 12 mini.
the new titanium iphones are awesome!
I upgraded from a 12mini to 15pro and have no issues handholding it thanks to its much lighter frame.
a 14pro would have cause my wrist some serious pain.
I also dont see any fingerprint marks whatsoever. Using the blue iphone 15 pro

Apparently it’s welded with aluminum on the inside. According to JerryRigEverything it is roughly $30 worth of level 5 titanium. A win for consumers.
Nope. It’s wonderful on AWU and it’s wonderful on the 15 Pro as well.
I'm really happy with mine. Feels and looks great, IMO.
It’s a step in the right direction. BUT Apple needs to get the camera footprint on par with the 12 pro.
yeah it breaks when people intentionally drop it from tall heights and scratch it with tools, bummer
Don't know where you live, but if you ever have any ideas to visit Arizona you might want to not drive and hold your phone. After some guy from Scottsdale was texting while driving, ran over and killed a DHP officer, a law banning this finally got passed a few years back.
Guy hit the cop after weaving across four lanes of traffic.
Curved Matte brushed finish stainless steel + Aluminium inside seems the way to go.
Lighter and better heat conductive than full stainless steel frame
Probably more durable than this gen Titanium but consumers may feel that’s a downgrade (from full stainless steel)
Still thinking to upgrade, give mine 14 Pro to my mum
Or just buy her a pink iPhone 15🤔
I only do it when the road is empty. But now most of the time i put it on a car magnet holder anyway.
My sister is not as conscientious as you. And, she was expecting me to follow her around when I visited over a year ago doing the same thing she was. I had my son in the back calling out directions.
The camera bulge is an eyesore and functional impediment. It would be nice to have an iPhone that would lie flat using in the Apple cases again.
so far, I like the titanium a lot. The finger prints don’t bother me at all. Feels much better in the hand compared to 14 pro series. The lighter weight is not a huge difference, but definitely appreciated on a large phone. Love the natural titanium color as well.
Only question is long term durability - rumors have suggested prototypes had some issues, so we’ll see how they age.

Im really happy with my 15 PM, had it slipped in my jacket all day today at a football game, hardly noticed it was there (no use) what a relief! (I did change from titanium to white titanium) 😄
My 15PM is better than my 14PM and a good amount of my satisfaction is due to the lighter frame and the rounded edges. I go case-less so it matters.
Nope I prefer the titanium over that stainless steel bling bling stuff. In a case you don't even see it. The misfires are the finewoven cases and those pastel colors of the standard models.
Yea those two were undeniably horrible.
It would be really cool to have a thick flat phone with super battery life because it would be thicker.
I’m loving the 15 PM Blue Titanium. I love love the more rounded edges compared to the 14 PM.
It is so much easier to hold and feels better in my hand.
