It rarely gets warm during normal use. When it does (taking lots of photos, gaming, etc) that heat is concentrated to the plateau on the back.

It is unapologetically orange. There's no mistaking it for anything else.

The unibody aluminum feels really nice. I was surprised. The curvature from the sides to the back makes it feel more premium than titanium imo.

No changes to the Camera Control.

Air is best for the pinkie finger balancing act, followed by the 17, 17 Pro, and 17 Pro Max.

It's compromised for sure, but it really does feel fantastic in the hand. Giving up the Ultra Wide and Telephoto is really tough. I really missed the Telephoto, especially.

I almost always restore from my last backup, but with the iPhone 15, I actually did a completely fresh install. It was nice to rebuild things from scratch and clean up some of the cruft, but just know it takes a while to get everything back to how you like it.
