Care Instructions
To maintain the longevity and optimal performance of your iPhone 15 Pro Max:
- Cleaning: Use a soft, lint-free cloth, slightly dampened with water if necessary, to gently clean the screen and the titanium frame. Avoid using abrasive materials, aerosol sprays, or cleaning solutions that can damage the oleophobic coating or finish.
