Worried about your iPhone 17 scratching? iFixit's teardown reveals what's happening - and why
People are calling out scratches on the back of new iPhone 17 models, even ones still in the store. A teardown from iFixit explains where, how, and why the problem occurs.
This time, the iPhone 17 is in the crosshairs as buyers and potential customers are complaining that the phones scratch too easily, even ones still on display in Apple stores. Likely to deal with the overheating, Apple outfitted the iPhone 17 Pro models with an aluminum frame, which doesn't run as hot but is softer than titanium.
