Worried about your iPhone 17 scratching? Apple says don't be
People are calling out scratches on the back of new iPhone 17 models, even ones still in the store. A teardown from iFixit explains why the problem occurs, while Apple has finally responded with an explanation.
In its own testing, iFixit found that the camera plateau on the iPhone Air, which uses Ceramic Shield 2, was much more scratch resistant than the aluminum used on the Pro models. Based on information shared with 9to5Mac and CNET, Apple is pinning the blame on old and worn out MagSafe charging stands that transfer material to the phone. Though these anodized aluminum edges are considered durable and do pass industry guidelines, Apple said that they could suffer small abrasions with normal wear and tear.
