Not surprising because only the edges of the back glass are glued for iPhone 15 so most of the surface is just floating there without support. On prior generations the entire panel is glued.

Not sure what the justification for the change would be, if anything it does make changing the back glass much faster as there is no need to scrape or laser blast the entire surface to remove all the adhesive. It would be interesting to see if this is also the case for the 16th gen.




Classic of "easier to fix vs less likely to break".

Given how much Apple is pushing apple care (and how much they charge for back glass) - it's almost like incentives have turned around.
