No they won't. You'll need to buy a new case for your new iPhone. The buttons aren't the same. The dimensions aren't the same.

Lobsterghost1 advocates using a screen protector. I think this is a subjective decision. Certainly some folks advocate using them. I have never chosen to use one during my sixteen years of iPhone ownership and never regretted that choice.


Lobsterghost1 has been a reliable source here. If you do choose to use a screen protector, I suggest you heed his recommendations

Yes, I'm a huge advocate for screen protectors. This comes from having a partner who is prone to dropping his iPhone, OFTEN. He has managed to break the screen protector, which absorbs the force of a fall and underneath has never revealed a broken iPhone screen. Plus not getting scratches on one's phone is pretty nice, but if one does, it's easy to slap a new protector on the screen.

Has anyone had issues with glass screen protectors on the iPhone pro max 15? I went to the Otterbox website, and there are tons of negative reviews about their glass screen protectors, claiming that the Pro max 15 has a screen which is slightly curved at the edges, which allows dust under the protector, and causes it not to adhere properly because of the design of the screen. Has anyone else noticed this, and what do you suggest instead of the Otterbox screen protector?

I have a Spigen screen protector (but have a Zagg XTR3 coming tomorrow) and a Torras case on my 15 Pro Max and absolutely no issues with the screen protector. No dust issues. No issues at all. If there are negative reviews about the OtterBox protectors, buy one from someone else. Spigen and Zagg are two brands which are great. Apple installs Belkin protectors at the Apple Store, which are also great.

I got the Torras case on Amazon and here is a link to it: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0CBJHMKGQ?psc=1&ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_product_details


Do I think it's better than an Apple case. Yes.


I'm getting the Zagg screen protector for free in return for an unbiased review. Zagg screen protectors are excellent quality, but significantly more expensive. I'm not certain I would pay the difference in cost over the Spigen, but for free, its a no-brainer.

Thanks for your great advice, lobsterghost1! Just curious - I've had the Otterbox case with the old-style plastic screen protector since I got my 6s Plus. I must say it's a little annoying because it's so bulky, and the 15 Pro Max is even a bit bigger. The Torras case looks really nice. Do you think it's less bulky than the Otterbox? And what do you think about the need for protecting the camera lenses? I've never done that. Also - do you have to have a special "MagSafe" compatible case to use MagSafe charging? I'm unclear on that. Sorry for all the questions.

The Torras case is much less bulky than an OtterBox case. I'm not a fan of protectors for the cameras as adding more glass on top of them can cause unwanted optic issues when you take pictures.


To protect them when not in use, you can find cases with slide over camera protectors on Amazon, like these options: https://www.amazon.com/s?k=iphone+15+pro+case+with+slide+camera+cover&rh=n%3A2335752011%2Cp_36%3A2491157011&dc&ds=v1%3AmeicWFce4rsA8QAE593dwjg2O7F54tHYQ1EOGMxK0K4&crid=3B3MMSPJMRD9Z&qid=1697403517&rnid=2491154011&sprefix=iPhone+15+Pro+case+with+slide+cam%2Caps%2C104&ref=sr_nr_p_36_3


A good quality case however, has a raised lip to protect the cameras from unwanted scratches if the phone is placed camera side down.


Also note the Torras case is a MagSafe case. I haven't plugged my phone in to charge since wireless charging came out on iPhone X and went full-on MagSafe charging when it was introduced in iPhone 12.
