Some iPhone 17 models are reportedly prone to very visible scratches
Some shoppers have reported that the blue iPhone 17 Pro and the black iPhone Air models are prone to scratches.
The video highlights the edges of the iPhone 17 Pro's back camera housing as particularly prone to scuffing since the colored aluminum oxide layer from the anodization process tends not to stick to sharp corners. However, the YouTuber also purposely marked up the iPhone 17 Pro blue model's camera plateau itself and the phone's back, which showed clear scratches that were easily wiped off. The visibility of the scratches could be attributed to Apple's decision to switch back from the iPhone 16 Pro's titanium chassis to aluminum, which is known to be susceptible to marking.
