New iPhone 15 Pro and 15 Pro Max design makes replacing the rear glass panel much cheaper

18 September 2023
This design was first implemented on the iPhone 14 and 14 Plus last year, but the 14 Pro duo stuck with the old design and the possibility of a $500 repair bill.

Sort by:

imagine saying $200 glass replacement is reasonable 💀

    I suggest gsmarena to study "right the repair" movement and then write that sort of articles so they can write about facts.

Fits perfectly in the front pocket, you're able to tie the shoes comfortably anywhere, you reach almost everything and what you don't is meh.

                      to make repairs possible without to pay 75% of the unit, they had to flash the display, camera or even the battery.

                              Too bad that's still the only thing "easily" repairable. Hugh Jeffreys will prove this once again, as he always does.

                                      The differences are quite miniscule, but if you take a digital displacement meter you'd see that you couldn't fit one glass (14 Pro and 14 Pro Max) instead of the other (15 Pro and 15 Pro Max).
