People have noticed all kinds of scratches on the iPhone 17 Pro models in Apple-Stores and Apple has now confirmed the cause of it.
Apple confirms cause scratches on iPhone 17 Pro (Max)
We wrote earlier that the new iPhone 17 Pro models are sensitive to scratches. The back of the iPhone 17 Pro and the iPhone 17 Pro Max already show the first deep scratches in many stores.
The iPhone 17 Pro and the iPhone 17 Pro Max have a renewed design. The iPhone 16 Pro (Max) is still made of titanium, but the iPhone 17 Pro (Max) is made of aluminum. The pro models consist of one whole of aluminum, with a glass part at the rear for wireless charging. The aluminum part of the pro models in particular appears to be sensitive to scratches.
Apple is now responding to this for the first time and says that the cause of the scratches on the iPhone Pro (MAX) lies with the worn out Magsafe charging standards in the Apple Stores. According to Apple, they are also not scratches, but it is about material that ends up from the standard on the iPhone.
Stains or scratches?
According to Apple, they are stains that can be removed by cleaning the iPhone. When we scratch on the blue iPhone 17 Pro and iPhone 17 Pro Max here on the editors, we can indeed remove it by cleaning. Apple will solve the problem in the Apple Stores. According to the company, other models, such as the iPhone 16, also suffer from it.
At the same time, Kra tests have shown that the camera surface of the iPhone 17 Pro models is sensitive to scratches. According to Apple, the edges of the camera surface of the iPhone 17 Pro are comparable to the aluminum housing of, for example, the MacBook. The edges are designed to be sustainable and are tested prior to the release. Over time, users can see normal wear, including small sanding spots.
