iPhone 15 pro peeling – image credit mr_rakue on Reddit
There are spotty reports that back-glass coating is peeling off some iPhone 15 units — but the actual issue is slightly less dramatic than that. Here’s what to do if you see it on yours.
In the iPhone 15 line, a back glass repair is simpler and quicker. The glass can be replaced, without involving an entire device disassembly and transplant of the components into a new rear case.
It’s not clear how prevalent the issue is, beyond the “one per day or less” per location that we’ve been told. Initial data we’ve collected from the Apple’s repair venues doesn’t suggest that the issue is widespread.
With any situation such as this, Apple doesn’t listen to press reports or social media claims at all. If you have this issue, avoid liquid contact as the adhesive is part of the water protection, and get it documented with Apple.
