The sale of the iPhone 17 series has started officially and people are taking their new phones in their hands. The models of this time are considered to be the most special ever because they have large design changes, strength and many new features. But only a few days after the launch, questions are being raised on their strength.
Claim to be a scratch resistant, but …
The iPhone 17 Pro and the iPhone Air model were described by the company as a very durable and scratch resistant. But actually, many users have different experiences. Such pictures are becoming viral on social media, in which these expensive iPhones are easily scratched. This is causing both disappointment and question in users.
More impact on dark colored variants
According to reports, scratches are more visible on the dark blue variants of the iPhone 17 Pro and 17 Pro Max. Similarly, scratches and light marks have also been seen on the space black model of iPhone Air. However, it is not clear whether this problem is in all devices or just in some cases.
Discussion on social media
Many users have shared photos on X and other platforms. It can be clearly seen that there are scratches on the body and display of the phone. People are asking why such an expensive device, which has safety like ceramic shield, is getting worse so soon.
Real texture and safety characteristics
Interestingly, this time the company has used aluminum unibody in the iPhone 17 Pro models, which is made up of 7000-series aerospace grade aluminum. It also has a ceramic shield 2 protection and is rated IP68, which protects against water and dust. At the same time, the iPhone Air has a titanium frame, which is considered stronger than aluminum. It has a layer of obsermic shield on either side and back.
Caution is necessary
Although the company has described the iPhone 17 series as the best in terms of strength and sustainable, initial reports are questioning this claim. If you are buying a new iPhone, it can be risky to use it without cover or temporary glass. Therefore, the advice is to use protection gear to protect the phone.
