"Unveiling the Truth: iFixit's Teardown of Apple's iPhone 15 Case Reveals Surprising Details"

Teardown site iFixit has examined Apple's FineWoven iPhone 15 case, a new alternative to leather, which has received criticism from some customers. The case is made up of tightly woven fibers that are smaller than a strand of hair, with bundles of fibers forming threads. Scratches on the fabric cause irregular light reflection, and the softness of the material can lead to indentations from items in the pocket. The case can stain when exposed to certain foods or liquids, and iFixit found that stains from hot sauce and oil were difficult to remove. The case is assembled with multiple layers, including foam, plastic sheets, and additional FineWoven fabric. iFixit suggests using a Durable Water Repellent spray to make the case more resistant to staining and liquid.
