My iPhone 15 Plus is not Titanium

The iPhone 15 Pro models use the titanium chassis. Your iPhone 15 plus uses glass back and aluminium frame. From the Apple web description,

iPhone 15 and iPhone 15 Plus - Apple

The innovative new design features back glass that has color infused throughout the material. A custom dual ion-exchange process for the glass, and an aerospace-grade aluminum enclosure, help make iPhone 15 incredibly durable.

To anyone who cares, I just found out that the black version of the 15 Plus IS plastic. It's matte black and does NOT have the glass finish that the rest of the colors have.

I wish that information was made clearer before I bought it.

Thanks for your responses.

You found out this information, where exactly? Apple certainly hasn't suggested the iPhone 15 Plus in black is plastic and I simply don't believe it is.

Please open this link and look at the specifications for the iPhone 15 Plus, which Apple clearly notes is made of the following materials: iPhone 15 and iPhone 15 Plus - Technical Specifications - Apple

Black, Blue, Green, Yellow, Pink

Aluminum design

Ceramic Shield front

Color-infused glass back

Whoever suggested a black iPhone 15 Plus is made of anything else is lying to you.

There is NO SUCH THING as any model of iPhone 15 plus or otherwise, which is made of plastic.

Ceramic Shield is a type of glass-ceramic material that Apple first used on iPhone 12 series phones. It has nano-size ceramic crystals that are intended to make the glass tougher and less likely to break.

CNET – iPhone 12's display is protected by 'ceramic shield' glass

So the iPhone 15s have glass backs, and toughened glass fronts, with the frame being either aluminum or titanium depending on the particular model (aluminum for 15 and 15 Plus; titanium for 15 Pro and 15 Pro Max).

I remember the iPhone 5C was plastic. Perhaps someone has gotten confused.

In fact, there appear to only have been three models made of plastic, the 3G, 3GS and the 5C.

Unfortunately, only the iPhone 15 Pro and Pro Max feature aerospace-grade titanium; the iPhone 15 and 15 Plus do not have this feature. Additionally, the iPhone 15 and 15 Plus are not made of plastic. It seems there was a misunderstanding.

I assumed that all iPhone 15s were titanium but I just received my 15 Plus and it feels like plastic. Is this model made of plastic?

According to Apple, the iPhone 15 and iPhone 15 Plus have an aluminum design, with a Ceramic Shield front, and a color-infused glass back. The iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro Max have a titanium design, with a Ceramic Shield front, and a textured matte glass back.

This is from the Technical Specifications pages for the respective phones.

Only the pro and the pro max are made with titanium the 15 and 15 plus are aluminum

If we pay closer attention to how Apple announces it and shows it on TV,YT ETC they never display the 15 or 15+ when making the bold claim “iPhone 15 with titanium” very overly used but if you watch it closely it is a PRO model they display. If you watch the Key Note as well they say it in plain English that the titanium exists in ONLY PRO models. The 15 Plus as you say is Aluminum as it is an entry model. Can’t get a Mercedes n expect it to be AMG powered, nope has to be the correct model for said expectations! .

I dont think you read any of the replys, someone above the very reply of yours said iPhone 15 Plus back feels like glass. Not only did Apple itself sat it is glass (And DONT IGNORE IT), but the dude above did. I also went to Beyond The Box (Apple Authorised retailer) and all iPhone 15 models felt like glass on the back.

Only the iPhone 15 pro and 15 pro max has a titanium frame.

You have been given false information. There is no plastic iPhone in the 15 series. No plastic iPhone period. Perhaps you are mistaking the feel of the paint as plastic. What is the model number of your iPhone?

Only iPhone 15 pro and pro max have titanium

Yes, but I wasn't thinking or trying to refer to phones made a zillion years ago. I was trying to just say there is no iPhone 15 model which is plastic. I suppose the "otherwise" could be confusing, but I would hope not ;-)

Suffice to say, the OP does NOT own a plastic iPhone 15 Plus in Black. Such a phone does NOT exist. No matter what someone else told them.

Also, someone asked me the model number of my phone...I looked at the link that shows the model numbers of each model and the model number of my phone is not even close to those. That might be the issue...

What is the model number?
