Fortunately if you need a replacement it's now easier to replace the back as it's not glued on so you could replace it with an aftermarket plastic back.
That’s a big selling point for me on the 15 series. I had the back glass break on my 12 Pro this year and learned after the repair that it’s effectively getting a new phone when it’s ‘repaired’. Took me 2 months to get my eSIM deactivated on the new device for a number of reasons that ultimately ended up being a Verizon issue, but that they blamed on Apple until I got Apple to send me another new device that had the same problem.
The replaceable back glass and USB-C are enough for me to upgrade from my 12 Pro. Now my debate is between the Pro and Pro Max…
Same is true for the non pro 14 series, they have easily swappable back plates
Ah, so they just made it easier to repair in the 15 series then?
