iPhone 15 Pro Max Am I the only one not having a single issue with their new iPhone?

Probably the vast majority of the phones are OK. But many, probably thousands, have defects. I think this is the case with every launch.
No problems with my 15 Pro 128GB. Used phone to phone transfer from my 14 Pro Max. Obviously battery life isn't as good, but more than gets me through the day.
Most people aren't. They just don't flock to the internet to tell everyone about it.
This is MR with every iPhone release. If you look at the first week posts you would never buy another new iPhone. 15pro 256gb Natural titanium here with 0 issues. My only issue is finding the perfect leather case now apple quit making them.
This entire forum is a storm in a teacup of people complaining about nothing. You are far from the only one not having a problem.
In fact, the only issues I had are the carriers not knowing how to handle eSIM. For the rest: no issues with either my own or my wife’s 15 Pro’s
I have absolutely no problems with my iPhone 15 pro, at all
Now that you mention it, when setting up my phone for the first time I did have an issue with eSIM not recognizing my service. Luckily I took the physical SIM from the 12 pro max I traded and put it in my sisters iPhone once I got home and was able to get my service running. Glad I didn’t listen to the apple employee because he wanted me to leave the physical sim in my old phone since I didn’t need it for the new one lol.
I’m still only using usb-c 2.0 cable that comes in the box so I’m not taking advantage of the speed
No issues here and no one I know has issues either. It's typical amplification of a few.
No issues so far - swapped to an iPhone 15 Pro Max natural with 512Gb - didn't even get warm transferring from my old phone to the 15 Pro Max - so at the moment completely happy.
Natural 256GB Pro here with no issues apart from it being too big and iOS not being customizable enough or jailbroken.

Mine's totally fine, never overheated, battery life seems fine (all day at work and I'm at 83% from 99% at 8am, and that includes downloading App Store updates and doing an iOS 17.0.3 update). 512 Pro Max White.
What other remedy is there than a new phone or a refund? What would you want them to do? CC you on engineering emails?
Zero issues here. 15PM natural. On AUP so I upgrade every year. I haven’t had any issues with a launch day iPhone.
I have the 15 Pro 512 in white. No issues at all. If I wanted to be nitpicky, I would say that the battery level reporting seems not to be 100% accurate after unplugging the charging cable, i.e., if I charge to 74% it seems to take an improbably long time to drop to 73%, then behaves as expected – but for all I know that's been the case with every other phone. I also had one newspaper app seem to go a bit haywire and cause unusual battery drain for a short period but closing the app sorted that. I've definitely had similar on previous phones (e.g. an app that I always had to close manually on my 2020 SE or it would chew up the battery in the background). In short, no issues - and I haven't installed 17.0.3 yet.
The overwhelming majority of people are having no issues with their new 15* phones. Thing is, most people won't go through the trouble of creating a thread/post saying "Yup, phone working as expected". For that reason, people that are having issues, even though they are a very small minority, will be over-represented in the forum postings because, for good reason, they're much more likely to make posts talking about their issues.
My phone, my wife's phone, and my son's phone, all 15 Pro Max devices, are working perfectly.
