iPhone 15 Pro Was titanium a misfire?

right, because that’s exactly how a multi trillion dollar corporation runs.
/S
And please provide sources when you make claims like this.
Is there a source out there saying that there’s going to be a dramatic change in the manufacturing process next year?
Is there a source out there going into details with apples testing of the tolerance of the 15 pro models?
Or did you just watch JerryRig forcibly and intentionally shatter a phone, then jump to conclusions about what Apple will and won’t do.
I don’t think I’m the one exception. I know that there are many exceptions to most common beliefs in the world. If you can’t do something safely then don’t do it. If you see someone doing something unsafely by all means be aggravated and maybe even push for correction. But to assume that your understanding, or your abilities make something true is not a fact but an opinion.
I frequently use a round about for runs/jogs. I see all types of people use their phones while they are driving. Some piss me off. Some are dangerous. Some are not. It just is not a black and white topic.
My family has been in the metal business for over 30 years now. Currently running the family business. Most have you have no clue or idea how apple makes these phones/devices. To me is a wow factor. Loving my 15PM.
Nothing is confirmed until IPhone 16 release so let’s not get ahead of ourselves with “rumors” that never come to fruition. Just saying sales and stock price matters regardless of what some public and YTers think. Not discrediting your opinion fwiw.
iPhone 14 Pro Max weight was ballooning out of control and has been a joke subject by the Android community for the last year.
With titanium the consensus is much different.
I hope it sticks for the Pro line. Blue and Natural colors are gorgeous. The other 2 just feel redundant, they should come up with something different next year.

There are at least 68 other Android phones that exceeds the 240g iPhone 14 Pro Max.
Never seen any of those phones, nobody cares about AliExpress crap.
The market is made by Samsung + Pixel + Xiaomi.
There were actual foldables lighter than the 14PM, that was frankly unbelievable, as an iPhone user you should be happy that Apple addressed that issue.
Huh? Doesn’t Pixel have like…. Less than 2% market share domestically and less than 0.1% globally?
Weird definition of “making a market”
I’ve got you beat. I can text with no hands while driving by using Siri to read and send messages while I keep my eyes on the road.
Feel free to mislead my argument, I'm not following you.
Did Apple think that the 14PM weight was an issue?
Yes, otherwise they would have not solved it at a significant cost for their R&D.
Thanks for coming to my Ted talk. I'm outta this thread.
Based on typical launch numbers, Apple has already sold more iPhone 15 series phones than Google will sell Pixels all year
...and every single one of those suck. the 14 Pro Max is too heavy for routine one-handed use, which is how I use my phone almost exclusively.
I have ridiculously strong arms, hands and fingers (I'm a rock climber), but the Pro Max weight just sucks..

No Pixel...
My experience with 2015 Google Nexus 6P has me never buying flagship Androids ever again.
Android worth buying are anything costing less than a 2022 iPhone SE.
This isn't an airplane jacking, no need to crash the whole plane (thread) by diverting people's thoughts just because you don't like its obvious route.
But whatever floats your boat. See ya
Lol, that’s exactly how they run…I’ve been in a huge manufacturing company in a different industry that is FDA regulated for many years and runs some tolerances down to .0002 if validated…not every design is a winner but a numbers game to go to market with numbers that have passed and are acceptable. But rest assured that design if going to be continued will be better next version and the manufacturing process will be better at the new facilities that went thru a learning curve.
Lol but keep your head in the sand.
I like mine a lot, the reduction in weight/apparent weight is significant. I am not big on colors so limited colors do not bother me. I think it was a good choice at least not a failure like the title is asking about.
I don't think there is anything wrong with the titanium. I think its the glass on the back. The front never breaks in the tests so far. It's either thinner cheaper glass, or there isn't enough support under it to prevent it from flexing. IMHO the Titanium is fine.
Really?!! No problems here a year on with the added weight of a leather case. And I’ve climbed zero rocks
Great move to be futzing with your phone while you're driving. Really solid, no safety implications for anyone else. Carry on.
