A simple swipe with a &#8220;soft, slightly damp, lint-free cloth&#8221; and voil\u00e0! Your phone&#8217;s back to its dazzling self. But, if you&#8217;re anything like us and want to keep things pristine, maybe it&#8217;s time to shop for a snazzy case.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Switching gears, Apple decided to jazz things up this year. Instead of the usual stainless steel, they&#8217;ve gone with a brushed <a href=\"https:\/\/en.softonic.com\/articles\/why-camera-iphone-15\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" title=\"titanium finish for the Pro models\">titanium finish for the Pro models<\/a>. Fancy, right? But here&#8217;s the catch: this might be why those pesky fingerprints are crashing the party. If you&#8217;re the laid-back type, a few smudges here and there might not ruffle your feathers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Below you can see the image shared via <em>MacRumors<\/em>:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" src=\"https:\/\/articles-img.sftcdn.net\/sft\/articles\/auto-mapping-folder\/sites\/3\/2023\/09\/iphone-3-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-250901\" srcset=\"https:\/\/articles-img.sftcdn.net\/auto-mapping-folder\/sites\/3\/2023\/09\/iphone-3-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/articles-img.sftcdn.net\/auto-mapping-folder\/sites\/3\/2023\/09\/iphone-3-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/articles-img.sftcdn.net\/auto-mapping-folder\/sites\/3\/2023\/09\/iphone-3-768x433.jpg 768w, https:\/\/articles-img.sftcdn.net\/auto-mapping-folder\/sites\/3\/2023\/09\/iphone-3-800x450.jpg 800w, https:\/\/articles-img.sftcdn.net\/auto-mapping-folder\/sites\/3\/2023\/09\/iphone-3-664x374.jpg 664w, https:\/\/articles-img.sftcdn.net\/auto-mapping-folder\/sites\/3\/2023\/09\/iphone-3-238x134.jpg 238w, https:\/\/articles-img.sftcdn.net\/auto-mapping-folder\/sites\/3\/2023\/09\/iphone-3-436x246.jpg 436w, https:\/\/articles-img.sftcdn.net\/auto-mapping-folder\/sites\/3\/2023\/09\/iphone-3-370x208.jpg 370w, https:\/\/articles-img.sftcdn.net\/auto-mapping-folder\/sites\/3\/2023\/09\/iphone-3-304x170.jpg 304w, https:\/\/articles-img.sftcdn.net\/auto-mapping-folder\/sites\/3\/2023\/09\/iphone-3-150x84.jpg 150w, https:\/\/articles-img.sftcdn.net\/auto-mapping-folder\/sites\/3\/2023\/09\/iphone-3.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>And let&#8217;s not forget, the critics are in love! They can&#8217;t stop raving about the iPhone 15&#8217;s top-tier build quality. Holding it feels like a dream, and the fingerprint fiasco? Barely a blip on their radar. So, go on, embrace the tech and the tiny quirks that come with it!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Apple&#8217;s switcheroo to titanium for the iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro Max is like giving them a mini workout regimen. They&#8217;ve shed some weight compared to their older siblings, and they&#8217;re flexing their anti-corrosion muscles. But, just like that friend who never skips leg day, they&#8217;re a tad bulkier.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Now, if you&#8217;re eyeing the iPhone 15 or iPhone 15 Plus, they&#8217;re rocking the classic aluminum frame. So, no unexpected color-changing magic tricks there. And yes, all four of these iPhone 15 stars come with a sleek glass front and back. Talk about looking sharp!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When it comes to keeping these beauties clean, the drill remains the same. Grab that trusty soft, slightly damp, lint-free cloth. And remember, no fancy cleaning potions or compressed air. We know it&#8217;s tempting, but keep moisture away from those tiny openings. After all, we want our tech to shine, not swim!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Guess what?
