      100%

      Love my dark green 11 pro. If there was a more modern powerful variant in this form factor would definitely buy it :)

        I still think the 11 pro midnight dark is the coolest iPhone design ever. I’m not a fan of the squared borders

      Those rounded edges 🤌

      I would love for apple to return to rounded edges like that. The slightly rounded edges of the iPhone 15 are better than the 12 through 14, but nowhere near as comfortable as the earlier legitimately rounded edges.

      I don’t get why they remove rounded corners, then re-adding it back into the 15 pro and then calling it a feature. They really running out of ideas

    Did you drop it? If you did, how many times in total?

    That screen looks pristine! I think the older generation glasses are better in terms of scratch protection, while the newer Ceramic Shield ones are harder to break.

      I dropped it once, but luckily on the back. It has a small dent on the edge of the camera glass.

    XS and 11 pro were the best iPhones ever made

    Ceramic glass now scratches easier but more crack resistant

      im willing to argue X was better than both, it completely changed how people used iphones

        More important, sure, but better? With how quickly Apple stopped giving it substantial new features as they focused on ML stuff that needs the A12 or newer, I’m not convinced.

      That’s not really true, the ceramic shield never seemed to scratch any easier than the “normal” tempered glass, at least according to the Mohs scale of hardness. If anything, the latest iteration of it seems to have better scratch resistance compared to “normal” tempered glass.

    Fucking how? I already have 2 scratches on my 15 pro max that has a dedicated pocket with nothing else ever in it.

      Yeah the same: always in a dedicated pocket it alone. Ive heard new screens are more resistant to drops but more scratchable

    iPhone 6/8/12 owner - never a screen protector, never broke a screen. Now the charging port, I do seem to gum that up fir some reason (pocket lint/dirt probably)

    Had my XS only for four years, but same result at the screen. I used dbrand skins for the frame and the back, so no scratches there.

    iPhone XS was an amazing experience. Sadly it broke on me after I dropped it from pretty high. Then I upgraded to an 12 pro. I miss the thin form factor and the not so obnoxiously large camera.

    I loved my XS. Best iPhone design ever. The thing never failed me. My 12 pro has been giving me grief for months now and is all scratched up, the XS never faltered

    Shame I haven’t had the same experience since the 12. 15 pro now covered in a protector 😐
