My iPhone 15 Plus is not Titanium

Branta_uk,

Thanks for the reply but this is definitely not glass and aluminum. The entire phone, even the screen, feels like plastic. I bought it through AT&T…I wonder if they’re selling a different retail model…

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.

IdrisSeabright,

Thanks for your response. I upgraded the phone through AT&T online. The closest Apple or AT&T store is an hour away, that's why I'm trying to figure out if the phone I received is somehow a refurb or even a black-market phone. I upgraded both my and my bride's to 15 Pluses (she got the pink and I got the black). Hers definitely feels like glass on both the front and back (and along the sides and top), but the black one feels like plastic, especially on the back (the logo is reflective but the rest of it is definitely some sort of plastic). Even the screen feels like clear plastic and not glass.

I'm contacting AT&T right now to see if there's something wrong with this one.

Again, thanks for answering and staying polite...

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.

Folks,

I know what Apple says, but if this is glass, then I've lost my sense of touch. I get the aluminum surrounding, and even the "ceramic shield front (even though it sounds like plastic when I tap on it)," but the back definitely feels like plastic and sounds like plastic when I tap on it. I was mistaken with my original subject line about it not being made of titanium (I should have said "glass"), so for that I apologize. But this phone is definitely NOT glass...

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

One more time...

NONE of you are holding onto my phone right now. I AM. I know what I'm feeling and it's not glass. And in addition to FEELING like plastic, when I tap on it, it SOUNDS like plastic. Maybe this is the result of nanoparticles mixed with the glass (or whatever mumbo-jumbo Apple described it as), but it does NOT feel like glass.

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...

Thanks for everyone's replies, even the snarky ones. I'm giving the impression that I'm not happy with the phone, which is not true. It's going into a protective case, so the back won't be seen anyway. I just want to make sure that there's not something wrong with it. It has a matte finish, so that might be why it doesn't feel smooth like glass.

Anyway, if everyone thinks that it's fine the way it is, I'm fine.

Again, thanks everyone.

Kurtosis12,

I have the black model. Do you know if that model is plastic?
