iPhone 17 Pro is criticized for deteriorating quickly despite being carefully maintained

After more than a month of launch, many iPhone 17 Pro users said their devices were scratched and had peeling edges despite being carefully preserved and always using protective cases.

Although Apple introduced it as having optimal heat dissipation, the aluminum frame on the iPhone 17 Pro has disappointed many users. On technology forums, many people reported that the device's edges are easily scratched, peeled and quickly discolored, especially at the corners, even when used very carefully. Some people also said that the device was slightly dented after just a few small collisions or when kept in their pockets.

Many users believe that the change in the frame material is the major weakness of the iPhone 17 Pro. They express regret and even envy for the iPhone 15 Pro and 16 Pro - high-end titanium models with outstanding durability and effective corrosion resistance. This difference makes users feel that the new iPhone no longer retains its inherent luxurious and durable look.

Many iPhone 17 Pro users said their devices had scratches and peeling edges.

Meanwhile, older iPhone Pro models used stainless steel frames, which, although heavy, were extremely sturdy and scratch-resistant after long periods of use. In practice, titanium and steel both felt more premium and durable than the current aluminum frame. This is considered an unfortunate step backward in the design of the iPhone 17 Pro.

While Apple switched from titanium to aluminum on the iPhone 17 Pro, rivals like the Galaxy S25 Ultra still kept the durable titanium frame, maintaining its new look after nearly a year of use. Meanwhile, the Pixel 10 Pro also uses aluminum, but the degradation is not as severe as the iPhone 17 Pro. Many experts believe that this difference may come from the coating and surface treatment process of each company.

The color of the iPhone 17 Pro also affects the visibility of scratches. The dark blue or space orange versions often show flaws more clearly than the silver. This makes it easier for users to notice scratches and peeling edges even when the device is used carefully.

Many people expressed disappointment at having to buy an additional case to protect a phone with a starting price of up to 35 million VND. This inconvenience makes many customers feel that the cost is not commensurate with the durable quality they expect from a high-end product.

Apple's decision to return to an aluminum frame for the iPhone Pro after two years of using titanium has many users questioning its design strategy. Some experts believe the company wants to reduce weight and improve heat dissipation. However, this also means that durability is no longer as high as before.

With such a high price, buyers obviously expect the iPhone 17 Pro to be sturdy and durable. The easily scratched aluminum frame makes the real-life experience not meet expectations. Many users feel unsatisfied when holding a “Pro” device in their hands.

If Apple does not take steps to improve, the iPhone 17 Pro may face a lot of negative feedback. Loyal customers will find it difficult to ignore the durability issues. This poses a big challenge for the company in maintaining its premium image.
