I am really disappointed with the quality control of the XS Max. Mine makes a very distinct creak when even slight side pressure is applied - which makes this over $2000 AUD device seem like a cheap phone.
I understand that people on this forum may ask why I am concerned about this or question why I apply this sort of torsional twisting. I want to stress this noise is observable with slight force even in the leather case. In my day quality was “conformance to requirements”
I believe it exists because there is a lack of glue somewhere and is a pretty easy fix and this is what make this issue really disappointing. btw my old X was rock solid and felt like a quality product should.
This issue has happened in prior phone versions and to other people on this forum with a Max and mostly people make jokes about it. However, I just don’t know why Apple does not eliminate this defect in such a high-end product. That is why I am putting it out there.
I can swap it out as it’s within the 14-day period but nerveless it’s a real pain having to do so on a brand new device and going through the setup process again.
I hope this issue is not too widespread as I think the Max is a really amazing phone.
