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

15 Pro Max 1TB Natural Titanium, no issues. Before the latest update when transferring files over I had no overheating problems, no finish issues that others noted (chips, screen not aligned correctly, darker spots on the titanium frame, etc.).

I picked mine up 2 weeks after launch day from a 12 Pro Max which had heat issues from day 1 (I blamed the 5G chip).
 
I HAVE AN IPHONE 15 IN A MOUS CASE… HERE WE GO!

all jokes aside, my 512GB 15 PM has had zero issues since I got it.
 
I hadn’t noticed any issues at first, but mine did get a bit warm when I was on Instagram a couple nights ago. I had not noticed it the couple times I had been on before, but I don’t think I was on long. The phone never got so warm I was worried, but it was noticeable, even in the case. Once I exited and shut down Instagram it was fine. No other issues. I’m super happy with it.

From battery issues to overheating, screen burn in, even software issues. Thankfully I haven’t had a single problem.

Just wondering if there are others completely happy with their new iPhone.

Both my wife and I have identical 128 15Ps. Mine had no problem but hers overheated as defined as too hot to hold and she's a chef so used to hot things. On a 30 min phone call with me, mine was just fine and hers overheated. After .03, seems to be way better so far.
 
I have mine for a day and fortunately have had no issues whatsoever. I traded my iPhone 14 Pro Max for the 15 Pro (yes I know, size reduction but I’m happier with the smaller factor honestly), and I’m being using it quite a lot since I had to travel after the switch. Honestly, no overheating issues at all until now, using it over 36°c with 5G and GPS and no overheating at all. Battery is fine but further conclusions must be made when the system is optimised.
 
So bought the 15 Pro 256. Overheating was an issue and my voicemails disappear each time I close the phone app for a bit. They do come back.

I hate the action button. The switch was easy this is so unintuitive and for no gain.

Worse cellular coverage and I’m on Verizon.

I’m so disgusted with Apple that, while I’m sure all the bugs will be fixed and I’ll prob get used to the action button, I’m returning it because I don’t want Apple to profit off this crap.

The only thing they listen to is the dollar and it’s about time the consumer spoke loud and clear that we won’t put up with shabby products.

No issues so far on my 256 GB Natural Titanium iPhone 15 pro max. No overheating issues even before 17.0.3. It does get warm while charging but so did my old iPhone 13 Pro Max. It seems to charge much faster too.

Battery life doesn’t seem to be quite as good as my iPhone 13 Pro Max but I think that’s because it’s my new shiny thing and I’m using it lots more. Once the novelty wears off and I use it in a more relaxed fashion we’ll see how it fares then.

Screen looks great to me - in fact better than my iPhone 13 Pro Max which had a slight discolouration on the right hand side of the screen when viewing dark gray backgrounds.

The only fault comes not with the phone itself but the case - the power button on my FineWoven case is very loose/wobbly. I’ve secured it with some electrical tape on the inside which has stopped the wobble, but it’s less clicky now than it should be. I am tempted to get a replacement but I have a clear case on the way so we’ll see.

Same here with another 15 Plus. I thought I was having an issue during set up up with the phone not recognizing my Wi-Fi network. But I’m pretty sure that was the iOS 17 update required at launch slowly waking up.

My launch day 15 Pro has had no issues of any kind, apart from me having to set it up as new because my phone-to-phone transfer and restore from backup caused some issues with my Apple Watch. I attribute this more to an issue on my prior phone and backup, and not the new 15 Pro.

same here- have to setup my watch as new. I find it surprising that a lot of us here are probably carrying over 10+ year back ups from phone to phone and it works fine for most people. I am always setup my Windows PC as new to prevent issues from propping up

I got the 256GB 15 Pro (blue), and not a single problem. Didn't have heat any more than I did my previous phones, and there's zero burn-in on mine.


Edit: added storage

Same here. My iPhone 15 Pro Max is working flawlessly. No issues. It's much lighter and more comfortable to hold than the 14 Pro Max. It's a bit heavier than the iPhone XS Max, but I don't feel it in the hand. MagSafe is cool! I got a MagSafe car charger and it's so much easier to live with. The Apple MagSafe wallet is neat too - I got a leather one, whew! It's less to carry and brings me one step closer to the physical wallet disappearing completely. The Belkin MacBook display mount makes continuity camera FaceTime calls easy now. And it works with my TV as well for AppleTV FaceTiming. The 15PM always-on display is surprisingly wonderful. Many a time I find myself getting the time & updates from my phone vs needing to raise my wrist. Camera-wise, Night Mode and portraits after the fact are neat. 4k60 video looks great! I'm looking forward to fast video offloads with USB-C @ USB3 speeds, and to trying recording ProRes 4k60 video to external storage. It is a solid upgrade.

My iPhone 15 Pro Max has been working great! Also natural titanium. It did get hot a few times on some calls which was out of the ordinary but after the latest update that has stopped. Aside from a few times with it getting way too hot during a call, nothing has been wrong with it and it's working great!
 
15 Pro Max. Natural Titanium. Picked up at 8:30 AM on release day. Have had zero issues.

None that have been hyped by YouTubers or the Apple haters in the forums of Macrumors.

Literally none.

iPhone 15 PM in Blue Ti.

Only minor thing was slightly warm during initial set up, and two days ago after installing 17.0.3 Bluetooth was unavailable for maybe two hours, connecting and disconnecting all the time. Then it suddenly resolved itself.
