iPhone 17 Pro is complained of 'losing its color' despite careful preservation

After just over a month of use, many iPhone 17 Pro users reported that their devices had scratches, dents, or scuffed edges despite being carefully preserved.

Although Apple promotes the aluminum frame on the iPhone 17 Pro as helping to dissipate heat better, many people are disappointed. According to feedback on technology forums and social networks, the iPhone 17 Pro and 17 Pro Max frames are very susceptible to deterioration, especially at the corners and edges of the device. Some people said that the device was slightly dented even when placed in a pocket or lightly bumped when used.

More and more users accuse the iPhone 17 Pro of being too easily scratched despite only using it for more than a month.

This makes users feel jealous of the previous iPhone 15 Pro and 16 Pro models, which are made of titanium with good durability and corrosion resistance. Meanwhile, the older iPhone Pro lines use stainless steel, which is heavy but sturdy. In fact, the models using titanium or stainless steel rarely get badly scratched after a long time of use.

Is Apple 'falling behind' with the iPhone 17 Pro?

While Apple has discontinued the titanium frame for the Pro model, its main rival, the Galaxy S25 Ultra, has retained its titanium frame and has remained new for nearly a year, while the Pixel 10 Pro also uses aluminum but has not suffered the same noticeable degradation as the iPhone 17 Pro. Many experts believe that the coating and surface treatment process may be the reason for this difference.

In addition, the color also contributes to revealing the device's flaws. With the dark blue or cosmic orange versions, scratches are more visible than with the silver version. Many people expressed disappointment when having to buy an additional case to protect a phone with a starting price of about 35 million VND.

Apple's return to aluminum frames on the iPhone Pro line after two years of using titanium frames has many people questioning the company's design strategy. Some argue that Apple is sacrificing durability in favor of heat dissipation and lighter weight.

At such a high price, users have every reason to expect the iPhone 17 Pro to deliver a build quality worthy of the “Pro” title. If Apple doesn’t improve the build quality, it could face a growing wave of complaints from its loyal user base.
