Guess what? The iPhone 15 Pro and its big sibling, the iPhone 15 Pro Max, have made their grand entrance. But, oh boy, there’s a tiny hiccup. Some users have noticed a little color change on those shiny new titanium frames. Apple, being the good sport they are, didn’t shy away from this. In a recent document (hat tip to MacRumors for the scoop), Apple mentioned:
“For iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro Max, the oil from your skin might temporarily alter the color of the outside band. Wiping your iPhone with a soft, slightly damp, lint-free cloth will restore the original look.”
Before you start imagining your brand-new iPhone 15 Pro or Pro Max looking like it’s been through a color run, take a deep breath. A simple swipe with a “soft, slightly damp, lint-free cloth” and voilà! Your phone’s back to its dazzling self. But, if you’re anything like us and want to keep things pristine, maybe it’s time to shop for a snazzy case.
Switching gears, Apple decided to jazz things up this year. Instead of the usual stainless steel, they’ve gone with a brushed titanium finish for the Pro models. Fancy, right? But here’s the catch: this might be why those pesky fingerprints are crashing the party. If you’re the laid-back type, a few smudges here and there might not ruffle your feathers.

And let’s not forget, the critics are in love! They can’t stop raving about the iPhone 15’s top-tier build quality. Holding it feels like a dream, and the fingerprint fiasco? Barely a blip on their radar. So, go on, embrace the tech and the tiny quirks that come with it!
Apple’s switcheroo to titanium for the iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro Max is like giving them a mini workout regimen. They’ve shed some weight compared to their older siblings, and they’re flexing their anti-corrosion muscles. But, just like that friend who never skips leg day, they’re a tad bulkier.
Now, if you’re eyeing the iPhone 15 or iPhone 15 Plus, they’re rocking the classic aluminum frame. So, no unexpected color-changing magic tricks there. And yes, all four of these iPhone 15 stars come with a sleek glass front and back. Talk about looking sharp!
When it comes to keeping these beauties clean, the drill remains the same. Grab that trusty soft, slightly damp, lint-free cloth. And remember, no fancy cleaning potions or compressed air. We know it’s tempting, but keep moisture away from those tiny openings. After all, we want our tech to shine, not swim!
