iPhone 15 Pro Sharp edge between glass and titanium frame

[maka344]

Looks like the first casualty of QC hit the UK pre order thread. Jagged frame edges on the pro max. I remember having this issue on the 13PM twice. The frame had gouges on it out of the box

Plenty of stock. Go replace it.

Got my 16 Pro now. It's way more consistent than any 15 Pro I had tested last year, so it did improve. It's still not as perfect as my 13 Pro though.

But eh, guess that works.

Yeah I went through 4 different 15 Pros before finally getting a good one. (I go caseless so the scraping against my palm was very noticeable).

The 16 Pro got it right on the first try which is a relief 👍🏻

I have just received my iPhone 15 Pro in natural titanium and discovered an issue which is quite annoying when using the phone without a case:

The edge between the glass back and the titanium frame is not chamfered or rounded but very sharp, you can clearly feel it while holding it normally and you can also hear it when swiping across the edge with a fingernail. Right side is a bit sharper than the other.

Not an issue with my 14 Pro or 13 Pro.

I just received my 16 Pro, coming from a 15 Pro that was quite sharp in the edges.

It is far better on my 16, unnoticeable to be honest, but I cannot say if it is by luck or industrial process improvements for all the 16s

I assume the fact that the back glass can now be swapped independently hurt the precision of fitting the glass in the frame.

I think your assumption is 100% on target.

My 15PM back glass last year was noticeably uneven and inconsistent around the frame. After the back shattered from falling out of my pocket, I had Apple repair the back-only for the first time ever. The phone actually felt nicer to hold, and the titanium rails would no longer catch on my skin slightly.
