iPhone 17 Pro Max Experiencing Durability Issues
Reports have surfaced regarding the durability of the iPhone 17 Pro Max models, specifically the deep blue variants. Display models of the new iPhone are showing visible damage, including scuffs and scratches, after just a few hours on display in Apple stores. This issue is concerning as Apple had marketed the new design as having a more scratch-resistant finish.
Similar to past incidents like "Scuffgate" with the iPhone 5, this durability problem is reminiscent of previous challenges with easily scratched dark aluminum models. While no phone is completely scratch-proof, the premature damage on the dark variants of the iPhone 17 Pro Max raises concerns among early adopters and those interested in the sleek deep blue design.
Individuals considering purchasing a darker colored iPhone may need to opt for protective cases or skins to maintain the pristine appearance of their device.
