How I'm protecting my iPhone 17 Pro Max from 'scratchgate' - despite what Apple says


I have a deep blue iPhone 17 Pro Max on the way, and I'm not taking any chances with it.

I've also seen wear happen because the MagSafe charger can collect fine metallic particles, which can cause the finish to be abraded. Give your MagSafe charging pad a clean every few months and you should be fine -- it's unlikely that your charger at home or the office gets anywhere near the sort of wear that a demo unit at the quietest Apple Store gets. I've got a selection of cases for my handset from companies such as Torres, Spigen, and Otterbox, all of which feature strong protection and a shield for the Camera Control button.
