iPhone 17 Pro Durability Concerns: Anodized Coating Issues Surface
Apple's latest iPhone 17 Pro and Pro Max models have sparked durability concerns. While they boast robust materials like aerospace-grade aluminum and Ceramic Shield, some users report issues with the anodized coating around the camera bump. Apple is addressing these problems in stores.
Tests by iFixIt and JerryRigEverything demonstrate that rubbing the camera plateau with a coin or quarter can cause the anodized coating to chip. Apple maintains the coating's durability, but admits weaker adhesion at sharp edges. The iPhone Air and baseline iPhone 17 seem unaffected. Apple attributes store demo unit marks to worn-out MagSafe stands and is fixing the issue. Despite these concerns, the iPhone 17 Pro and Pro Max remain durable, with Ceramic Shield 2 offering enhanced crack and scratch resistance.
To mitigate potential abrasions, Apple recommends using a case for the Pro models.
While Apple's iPhone 17 Pro and Pro Max face durability questions regarding their anodized coating, the devices remain robust with advanced materials. Apple is addressing store-related issues and recommends cases for added protection.
