New iPhone 15 pro max in black titanium, is everyone’s CE markings this clearly etched into the unit? More obvious than my previous phones where it was more dull - doesn’t look great

I bought mine in Germany and it doesn’t have it. Usually they are all now digital and you can see them in settings.

Just smear some bootblack on that

Damn thats like putting a bumper sticker on a Ferrari, thankfully it’s not too visible

Comparing an iPhone to a Ferrari is hilarious. Put a case on your damn phone. Who tf cares.

I’m in Europe and mine doesn’t have it. Take it back

well done once again, EU

My UK spec 12 mini has this, i think it’s a european thing.

Apple shows the ‘unblemished’ US models in marketing material, they have special dispensation to display the FCC details in software. They’re almost invisible on my Alpine Green 13 Pro; all EU models have these beauty marks, how visible they are just depends on the model and colour.

I have that on my 12 Pro Max. It’s a legal requirement as others said

I have a UK spec iPhone

Fake iPhone 15, return.

Are you sure that’s a pro max in black titanium? I have the same one (UK model) and the regulatory icons are so faint I had to look for them.

On cheaper phones it is printed on a piece of paper glued to the phone, it’s very ugly but it’s removable.

[–] Dr904@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

It makes so much more sense for phone makers to do that!

[–] Alex20041509@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Yes but Apple prioritize design over function. So a sticker may feel less premium

And I don’t think you can use the same glue that they use for the paper screen protector.

[–] mariussa1@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

I dont have those and I live in Norway

[–] Dr904@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

*sigh* They made them brighter all the sudden?! Whyyyyy???

They're barely visible on my old 12 mini and 13 Pro.

[–] 00x77@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

I got black pro max from apple uk and no markings

[–] RepMajor@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Mine doesn’t have it at all - I’m in USA so I’m assuming we don’t have to have this

[–] SpongeBob1187@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Damn that would drive me nuts lol

[–] Tobias---Funke@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

I can’t find this on my iPhone 15

[–] oVerboostUK@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

I have them on my UK 15 Pro but being the natural titanium it’s very hard to see, thankfully.

[–] gio1135@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

combat evolved

[–] Top_Specific_792@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

USA version don't have this.

[–] spadePerfect@alien.top 0 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Can confirm it’s also on my 15 Pro from Germany. Natural titanium though so not nearly as visible.

[–] deflondon@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Wo befinden sich die icons? Ich habe das 15p in schwarz und bei mir sind keine da.
