Buying an iPhone 15? Look Out for These Main Problems
- TechCrunch
"I've been using an iPhone 15 Pro Max as a daily driver for a week now; I haven't experienced anything unusual," Schroeder said when asked about any potential bugs he came across.Â
"It doesn't overheat, it's fast, and it charges normally - even the FineWoven case looks great with no scratches nor marks."Â
3. The new iPhone breaks too easily
Arguably, the biggest issue facing the new line of iPhone 15s is the durability of the device. This is something built into every phone and isn't solvable with a software update.Â
Some longtime iPhone users are finding that the new-generation flagship phone line breaks much more easily than older models.
Sam Kohl of AppleTrack performed a drop test on the iPhone 15. Kohl found that the older iPhone 14 handled the punishment much better than the iPhone 15.Â
In fact, the iPhone 15 Pro was completely unusable after a series of drop tests. What was even more interesting about the test is that Kohl believes the titanium body build isn't solely to blame.Â
He suspects that the curved edges on the new phone played a role in the device's weaker body as well.Â
Again, as we previously mentioned, this isn't an issue that Apple can solve with a software update. Kohl recommends buying a case for the new, expensive iPhone 15.
