Complaints arise: iPhone 15 Pro models with camera dust, display alignment, and box scratches
Customers who were fortunate enough to receive their iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro Max on September 22 have been sharing their concerns about the devices' quality. Previously, it was noted that even the act of holding the iPhone 15 Pro could temporarily alter its color, a matter acknowledged by Apple, which recommended using a protective case and cleaning the device with a soft, damp cloth. However, these remedies can't address the issues of scratches, display misalignment, and dust within the camera lens.
The revelation about dust particles inside the camera lens of the iPhone 15 Pro comes from a tipster named Majin Bu on X. Unfortunately, dust inside the camera lens cannot be cleaned by users and would require a dust-free workshop with quality control measures during production to prevent such issues. Considering the premium price point of these devices, users understandably find such quality standards below par, especially when coming from Apple.

Furthermore, some users have noted scratches on both the titanium frame and the screen of their iPhone 15 Pro models, as detailed by the tipster.
