Have you seen or read about the 15 Pro/Max being more fragile? Some commenters suggest that the more rigid titanium chassis makes the glass more susceptible to cracking.
I’ve never bought AC+ or any sort of insurance for my phones, only a case, but I’m getting uncomfortable…
Are any of you case users actually worried? I’d estimate that I drop my phone a handful of times each year onto bedroom carpet or bathroom tile, usually from waist height.
I think Apple dare not sell thier products knowing that they’re fragile, since branding is what they value the most.
They’ve done it before. This exact issue was prevalent in the iPhone 6, it was a huge issue at the time.
Honestly, I didn’t know that. Maybe I was too young at that time to know about the incident. Sorry for my ignorance.
You’re talking about a company, that had a campaign about how you’re holding your iPhone wrong, resulting in bad reception. They’ve had a thousand issues like this, and they’ll come up with an explanation for every one of them
That’s hilarious. I can’t believe they thought that the best excuse.
It’s not a remotely accurate statement. They just pointed out that holding a phone, any phone, lowers the signal strength, and some grips will lower more than others. It also wasn’t a “campaign”; it was a Q&A response to a ludicrously overblown “problem.” The next year’s phone kept the same antenna design but the drama had passed already.
You’re not wrong in what you’re saying, but I can personally tell you that this is not representative of my own experience. Out of the two iPhone 4 units I’ve had, one of them had this issue, to the point where with a certain grip, it would lose connection entirely.
This isn’t new either. The weak shell design of the 6, the video connector on the MacBooks, the randomly corrosing and bending internal ports in the Pros. Some of it was so rare that it may as well be drama, but they, without any exaggeration, had issues that were worthy of every bit of complaints they’ve received
