welcome to the
#ScratchGate of Apple 🧼📱. The supposed scratches on the new iPhone 17 Pro are not actually permanent damage, but marks caused by the transfer of material from old and worn-out MagSafe chargers.
🔍 What's happening?
• Users noticed scratches on the back, especially on the blue model.
• Apple explained that they are not real scratches, but residues from the material of old MagSafe chargers.
• These marks can be removed by cleaning the affected area.
• The issue was mainly detected on display units in stores, where devices are connected and disconnected repeatedly.
📸 What about the camera edges?
• Some users also reported deep scratches on the edges of the camera module.
• According to iFixit, this is because the design has sharp corners that wear down the anodized layer.
• Apple claims that it is normal wear from daily use, similar to that of their MacBooks.
