For the first time in a smartphone, color is infused throughout the back glass, creating five beautiful colors. The back glass is strengthened with an optimized dual-ion exchange process before being polished with nanocrystalline particles and etched to create a luxurious, textured matte finish.
CUPERTINO, CALIFORNIA Apple today announced iPhone 15 and iPhone 15 Plus, featuring an industry-first color-infused back glass with a stunning, textured matte finish, and a new contoured edge on the aluminum enclosure.
The body is an aluminum alloy but the back is glass to allow wireless charging and of course the front is the touch sensitive OLED display. The iPhone 15 Pro series bonds high grade titanium to the edge for greater strength.
The iPhone 14's removable panels hold the front screen and back glass, while the aluminum frame holds pretty much the entire internal structure of the phone, meaning that Apple completely redesigned the internal construction of just one line of its new phones.
No issues. It also did a decent job of not scratching badly on the back or on the camera. And bending the phone didn't break it either. All in all, a good performance.
The Easiest iPhone 15 Back Glass Replacement Tutorial Ever!
Is the iPhone 15 made out of glass?
Design. The iPhone 15 Pro features the first major redesign of the outer shell of the device since the iPhone 12 Pro in 2020, featuring rounded edges, a slightly curved display, and back glass.
The 15 and 15 Pro are made from different materials. The iPhone 15 has an aluminum enclosure with a color-infused glass back, and the iPhone 15 Pro is made from titanium with a textured matte glass back.
Place the enclosure in the repair tray with the USB-C connector facing the cutout. Put on the nitrile or lint-free gloves. Important: If you're installing a replacement back glass, peel the protective liner from the top and underside of it.
Unlike previous models that incorporated additional reinforcement around the edges or corners, the iPhone 15 Pro Max may lack sufficient structural support to withstand impacts. As a result, even minor drops or bumps can cause the back glass to crack or shatter.
In Short. iPhone 15 and iPhone 15 Plus passed the bend test that the iPhone 15 Pro Max failed. Ceramic Shield glass on iPhone 15s is reportedly more scratch-resistant than Gorilla Glass on Android phones. iPhone 15 series rear glass panel replacement fees start at Rs 14,900 in India.
The Pro lineup is built to last, combining the strength of titanium with the toughest back glass in a smartphone and the industry-leading Ceramic Shield on the front.
Testers did CR's updated bend test and standard drop test but found no structural problems with the 15 Pro Max. The other three iPhone 15 models passed the drop test as well.
The iPhone 15 is the first major redesign since the iPhone 12, featuring rounder edges and a slightly curved display, and back glass. Both models are available in five colors: blue, pink, yellow, green and black.
iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro Max: These higher-end models are the first iPhones to feature a titanium body made from Grade 5 titanium, the same alloy used in spacecraft. This gives them a lighter weight yet stronger build than previous Pro models.
Seven months into using the iPhone 15 Pro Max, one of the biggest surprises -- which, unfortunately, I can confirm through personal experience -- is that it can survive drops. Many, many drops. It's fallen off the arm of my couch onto my living room hardwood floor multiple times.
Conclusion. While the titanium iPhone 15 Pro offers several benefits, it is not exempt from potential damage. Scratches, lack of drop protection, and smudges are valid concerns. To safeguard your precious investment and maintain the device's pristine appearance, it is essential to invest in a case.
