Apple iPhone 17 Pro Max after 8 months: sides are covered with microscopic chips in the annodization - especially bad around the USB-C port. tiny grains of dirt/sand became trapped between the case and phone during everyday use. iPhone has spent its entire life inside of an Apple Clear... Case with Magsafe.show more

breaking news: device used daily goes through wear and tear. who would have imagined

That’s why I always take my phone out of the case and clean it every 1–2 weeks. You should do the same to prevent scratches

Proving once again, silver aluminum is king

this happened on my natural titanium iphone 15 pro… you just see it less.

How is it that damaged around the USB-C port if it in a case and changing via MagSafe?

Honestly I’ve noticed this happening on aluminum iPhones overall. My 16 has white speckles near the camera control button after using a case with a cutout…

And what about all the previous non Pro models that have historically been made with Aluminium? They will be the normal wear & tear.With all the fuss on the internet anybody would think that iPhones had never used Aluminium before 🙄

Sir the orange is fading and chipping in a rotting way and YES this is a political tweet

The space black MacBook Pros from what I've seen have a habit of becoming visibly worn at the edges and around ports, which is why I went with a silver model when buying one the other day

Yeah my titanium iPhone be like that too and I don’t use a case

That's why you buy the natural alloy color - for less visible damage

funny seeing people complain, i knew orange specifically would age like milk. silver is the best looking and most durable, orange is for posers that just need everyone to know they brought the newest iPhone.

And Apple will punish you when you try to trade that in later on. Good on Apple for cutting pricing with their later trade-in returns.

Take it out every couple of weeks and clean both the phone, and the case. I do this all the time.

My Blue iPhone 13 had small white dots which later I figured out was due to the dust friction between the iPhone and the case Changed the case immediately after Don’t use loose iPhone cases

cases cause scratches? yeah we knew that already

obviously

shit ive been using the same case

That plastic rectangle on the back is lifting on my iPhone near the edge of the bottom of the camera hump. That’s concerning to me. It’s enough that my case doesn’t sit flush enough now.

Apple stuff is mediocre now
