With the iPhone 15, Apple brought many changes. One of them is the new titanium, which it uses for the first time in devices . With this new material in mind, let's see how we can effectively and safely clean the new iPhone 15 Pro.
Titanium needs special handling. Apple itself says that “oils from your skin can temporarily change the color of the outer band” of the titanium casing. If you use your iPhone 15 Pro without a case, you can fix this by wiping it with a slightly damp microfiber cloth.
Let's see, however, generally how you can clean your iPhone 15 Pro. What you should do and what to avoid?
What should you avoid?
- Do not use cleaning sprays
- Do not submerge your iPhone in cleaning products
- Do not leave cables connected to your iPhone while cleaning
- Do not use compressed air to remove debris.

Steps for cleaning the iPhone 15 Pro
- Turn off your iPhone before cleaning it.
- Make sure it is disconnected from any cables or accessories.
- Wipe your iPhone with a clean microfiber.
- Lightly dampen your cloth with water, if necessary. According to Apple, a slightly damp cloth will remove fingerprints and light discoloration on the iPhone 15 Pro's titanium frame.
After you have performed this initial cleaning, proceed with disinfection.
- To disinfect your iPhone, use a Clorox or put 70% isopropyl alcohol or 75% ethyl alcohol on your cloth and wipe device .
- Gently use a piece of string to remove debris from hard-to-reach areas. Be careful not to puncture the microphones or other important components.
- Blue Tack is another great way to remove dirt and debris from speaker grilles, etc.
Apple emphasizes that you should “immediately clean your iPhone if it comes into contact with anything that could cause stains or other damage – for example, dirt or sand, ink, makeup, soap, detergent, acids or acidic foods or lotions.”
Are Clorox wipes and alcohol good?
While useful for cleaning, these types of wipes can wear down the oleophobic coating, according to Apple. So, it's a good idea to install a protector screento prevent the cleaning wipes from damaging the screen coating on your iPhone. A glass screen protector isn't worth as much as the iPhone 15 Pro's screen.
