iPhone 15 Pro Max 15 Pro Max Scratches

Please update on how this goes if you exchange. My screen had a big scratch that I noticed when I got home from Apple.

I’ve been checking every 1 hour for that same color to show up in my Apple Store app so I can pick it up in the Apple Store, so far no luck. people love that color.

I’d say just put your natural tits in a case. If you’re going to go caseless then it’s gonna get scuffed eventually.

I returned my iPhone 5 a few days after I got it for the same reason. A brand new iPhone with a scuff. Looking it’s dumb to even return it.

That would annoy me, but the phone is going to get scratched as you use it. Not sure id worry about chasing perfection, because nothing is perfect.

That's bad enough that even if I had to wait a few weeks, I'd go back to my last phone.

Lol xd is this what people suppose to expect from an over $1200 phone?

That's what you should expect from any product, regardless of price.

I'd keep what you got. If you're going to use a case, you'll never see it. If you're not going to use a case, you'll have 10X that number of scratches within a month.

If I can polish it, it’ll be kept. Otherwise a replacement is required.

People are forgetting is good to have it as pristine as possible if want to trade it in for max value for the following iphones. If you can exchange it now, I’d do it.

i would still check the apple store app. Earlier today everything was out of stock, but i kept checking and eventually one popped up. Likely a cancellation or something.

Ain’t no polishing this special titanium finish.

Seriously it’s a phone. I know it’s know it’s expensive. But honestly how long are you going to have it? One year? Three? How many scratches will be on it in 3 years.

You swap it out for a replacement and it will fail in some spectacular way. That’s just karma.

Haha not even close. Short of a cracked screen, trade-ins never care about scratches.

I should expect paint from paint on a new Ferrari would just easily have scratch? Lol

My natural titanium pro max has some surface scratches out of the box on the frame. Does anyone know if this can be polished out? I’d hate to wait for a replacement in this flurry. I noticed it as I was putting on a case.

This is what I’ve used on some brushed titanium watch bracelets and cases but, if the iPhone titanium has some sort of extra coating it may not be safe.

Thanks!

Thanks!

I have some old mother’s mag at home. I’ll see if that does the trick.

My oxidized Mother’s Mag may’ve done the trick! Attaching the original before and after. Let me know your thoughts. It may mean the natural titanium is polishable.

I’d say just put your natural tits in a case.

I'm quite sure that is not the sort of advice I would ever have predicted seeing on a computer forum.

That scratch was out of the box??

Yes

 

[Fat_Guy]

Well this is interesting.


I was lead to believe all versions were coated. If the op polished and didn’t leave a mess behind it may actually be uncovered titanium. That will matter to people
like me!

Here is a pic with better lighting.

Looks like night and day. I would keep it. In 1-2 weeks you’ll forget about it. Enjoy your phone.

I can see another scratch on it... Zoom in! 🫣

I would be annoyed with that situation. I would go to Apple Store and ask if they can replace it. Wish the best!

Looks as good as new. Glad users can polish away very light scratches.

Agreed. If the natural can be DIY polished/brushed, this is fantastic
