My iPhone 15 Plus is not Titanium

That's not what Apple says:

iPhone 15 and iPhone 15 Plus - Technical Specifications - Apple

Apple debuts iPhone 15 and iPhone 15 Plus - Apple

You’re wrong, it is NOT plastic. It’s glass with an aluminum frame.

Whoever told you otherwise doesn’t know what they’re talking about.

No one was being snarky, not even me ;-) You were just so adamant you had a phone which is made of plastic, which you bought from an actual authorized seller, and now knowing the model number is authentic, we knew it just couldn't be plastic. The back glass on these phones isn't super think. And they do have a textured smoked glass feel. Tapping the back as you said you did, would not make it sound like tapping glass. It's really well insulated.

I'm glad you've decided to believe your phone is authentic, but more importantly, I hope you truly enjoy it. And like you said, it's going to be in a good protective case (which is very smart, given it's a glass encased device, front and back).

Enjoy your phone!

Well if ur so sure that it is plastic, then I am equally sure that u have been scammed. The iPhone 5c was the last iPhone to have plastic back way back in 2013. And apple is not a company which will do such a petty thing ( It has a market cap of 3 trillion if u didn’t already know). So just visit ur nearest Apple Store to get it verified or live with it.

Perhaps you don't understand how different types of glass actually feels under different types of assemblies? I have a regular 15 (pink), exactly same as the Plus, (I've compared both in-store). While it may "feel" like plastic it is in fact not plastic. Throw your phone outside, in the middle of the street, if you refuse what people are telling you. Tapping on the front and back may not have the ring that free standing, uncoated glass has, because it's not free standing, uncoated glass. This is high grade glass adhered tightly to the internal components. A simple test: take some pure acetone on a swab, and dab it on the front and back of your iPhone, then try to rub it off. If there is any peeling, you've bought a dupe, you do not in fact have a real iPhone. Acetone eats through most types of plastics.

Kurtosis12,

Well then mine has some sort of plastic coating or cover on it. And no, I haven’t bought a cover for it.

And I’ll keep the discussion going until someone who owns a 15 Plus responds and can tell me if theirs feels like plastic.

If you are unhappy with the phone and it is still within 14 days, return it. You might also want to go to either your carrier's store or an Apple Store and look at the display models.

There's no sense in arguing about it any further, none of you can see or feel what I'm seeing and feeling.

Then you have a special phone. I was looking at all the models last week when I was at the Apple Store. None of them were plastic. But, if you're not happy with it, take it back.

Maybe you got scammed off a foreign website? iPhone 15 is not plastic. It’s aluminum and glass. You probably got scammed by someone impersonating Apple or you went to a resale website and got scammed there: whatever the situation is, I don’t think you have the authentic iPhone 15.

You have definitely lost ur sense of touch. The iPhone 15 has a textured and color infused glass back and minutely curved matte aluminum frame which feels beautiful in the hand. I have not held a phone which could match this feel. You might be feeling the back like plastic due to the texture ( I don’t know anyone else who does) It could also be because u may have owned a upper midrange phone with plastic back and similar texture ( pure assumption, I don’t know what phones u have owned) but I no matter what, to me and other people who I know with the same phone this beauty does not feel anything like plastic.

As already stated they are either aluminum and glass or titanium and glass. Apple doesn't make a plastic model.

This conversation needs no further discussion.

Yes. Only the IPhone 15 Pro and IPhone 15 Pro Max are Titanium.

Hello~ Unless you bought a “fake” iPhone … it is not plastic. Read back through this thread as I did before replying to you and click on the highlighted links for further information concerning this matter.

If you mean the backs? Yes, that's correct, they are glass. However, the frames are made of metal.

No, they are not.

It is not plastic. It does not feel like plastic.
