Since its launch, the iPhone 15 seems to have been plagued by numerous design issues.
The new design is one of the biggest upgrades of a standard model, and the Pro Max model also has an extremely powerful camera system.
But the iPhone 15 has had several issues since its release.
The model has included problems with overheating and users have expressed concern over the durability of the titanium casing.

There have also been 'burn-in' issues on the screen, where the shape of common images like keyboards or the backdrop can remain on the screen.
Now, another problem has emerged as the back of the device appears to 'peel'.
Users have complained that the back glass of the design has a substance at the edges which makes it appear as though the edge is coming away.
This begs the immediate question of how the back could 'peel' when it's made of something solid?
Apparently, it's to do with the adhesive which is used to hold the back part of the phone in place.

This is different from previous designs, and according to Apple Insider, allows for an easier repair process if the back plate cracks.
On previous designs this would mean the entire casing would need replacing, effectively meaning that the 'guts' of the iPhone would have to be transferred to a whole new body.
With this design only the back plate requires replacing.
The 'peeling' can occur due to a manufacturing fault when the adhesive is being applied.

People wrote about their experiences with the problem on social media.
Taking to Reddit, iPhone 15 user mr_rakue said: "I’m actually surprised that this sort of adhesive even exists on the back.
"It feels like the entire back is a sticker that’s about to peel off."
Another user, who went by JDT33658, claimed that Apple had replaced their device when they encountered the same issue.

They added that the Apple employees they spoke to allegedly told them: "The adhesive that is used to hold the back down was not applied correctly and started peeling because it was sticking out the edge."
If you are lucky enough to have an iPhone 15 but start experiencing this issue you should resist the urge to try and fix it yourself.
Instead, document the issue and contact Apple customer service or take the device to an Apple Store.
Apple has not publicly commented on this specific issue.
