Cannot wait to see if QC problems start populating this board.
Fake photos! Someone posts photos these on Twitter and you automatically think they’re real? These are either fake mock-ups and/or the photos were enhanced to amplify fingerprints.
premium iClothe dropping soon... or iGlove..."You're holding it wrong"
Apple is already selling cloths with the Apple logo in nice premium boxes in their stores.
My goodness. Look at the glass. It’s not uneven. What you are seeing is the reflection on the titanium rounded corners. The glass looks bowed down when there is a shadow on the screen. Bowed up when it’s a highlight. Play of the light.
Must just be a bunch of folks trying to convince themselves they don’t want something. But to think apple placed phones out there with uneven glass😂.
The glass isn’t even thin enough to have that kind of flexibility!!!
People. My goodness.
You assume it is reflection. You don't know that because you haven't had the iPhone in your hand.
As of now, the glass looks uneven from the pictures. As to why, remains to be seen when they become available in the Apple Store.
Everyone there was given a big bag of cheesy poofs while watching the the reveal video so I wouldn’t put much stake in this.
It's a good thing my fingerprints don't permeate the case I'll be using.
You joke, but I literally have white handling gloves for this purpose, but I keep my phones looking the same as the day they were removed from the box for resale purposes.
Where was I complaining? I clearly said it wasn't a big deal. I was simply pointing it out. Either way you don't need to be so defensive over a phone.
Yup, those are finger prints.
So much for the solution to the finger print problem. I also have to say that the bright and shiny sharp edged design of the bare stainless steel iPhone I have looks way more attractive than this. The new design may feel better in the hand long term - but this is disappointing.
It doesn’t matter to me as I case all my phones but “premium” is not screaming at you. This is what they will look like at the store with all kinds of people handling them. These are all coated so you don’t even get a bare Titanium model to fool around with to repolish scratches and such.
Now we move on to the scratch and drop tests and see how that goes…
I wouldn’t worry, according to them there has never been a issue with any apple product ever lol
Not a drama. If you use your iPhone without a case, it is also super easy to clean up with any soft clothing, in just a few seconds.
You really think these phones are not meticulously checked before they're put on display? Apple know there are going to be thousands of cameras pointing at these things, every phone will be checked over before being put on these tables. Please have some common sense.
I imagine the discoulouration around the buttons is because they're raised. Skin won't be touching the area directly surrounding the buttons, so no oil in that area.
This is one of the most rational and down-to-earth comments I've read on MR as of late. 👍
I guess you haven‘t been around when the M2 MacBook Air was launched? The midnight blue version of the M2 MacBook Air scratches easy and is a finger print magnet.
This was evident during the launch event and this was also later confirmed when checking demo models in the Apple Store.
It‘s why my M2 MacBook Air is the Starlight colour which doesn‘t have this problem.
No it is not. None of my Space Grey iPad Pro‘s or iPhones or MacBook Pro‘s had this problem at all.
Heck, I even have devices that are pure black which doesn‘t have this issue.
Apple simply screwed up with the midnight M2 MacBook Air.
Sounds like a "smear" campaign....I've used many implements made of Grade 5 Titanium
and never seen such smudges
Apple uses Titanium Grade 5, alloyed with 6% Aluminum and 4% Vanadium
(commonly known as Ti 6Al-4V).
"Space-grade" is marketing speak...it's commonly used in Razors.

what's the second color ? black innit ? so just like macbooks which do not use titanium, dark shades attract FPs. natural titanium and white should be the best colors i presume
