iPhone 17 Pro A new era for iPhone pros, soft aluminum = crushed corners

That's because of the material Pitaka is using. It too thin and too hard to protect the phones!

Wrong.

I dropped my 15 pro in a pitaka case onto a tiled bathroom floor from waist height - no damage to the phone.

Wrong.

No. Not wrong. Just not an iPhone 17 Pro.

Prior Pros were built like tanks though. You really needed a lot to bend or dent the frame in any major way, even with no case at all.

Apple Care is mandatory for 17 Pros …. And will be the year that will have heavy use

Eh, this isn't the first time I would be using aluminium phones case-less. The iPhone 4s, 5s, 6s+, 8+, all without cases. Never dropped them either. Will eventually have some scuffs at the back and around the camera area, but they still look and work great.

Scratches and dents are not covered by AC+

I cannot believe they are still using trash aluminum on a $1100/$1200 phone and continue to call it “Pro”. Pro used to be the best of the best, now it’s being overshadowed by the less expensive Air. Which is using PREMIUM materials! Tim Apple pinching pennies again. Sad.

the term “pro” doesn’t imply luxury or premium quality. It typically signifies professional-grade equipment, without necessarily being aesthetically pleasing or made from high-end materials.

True. They changed it with the 17 Series. Before it was different.

Well..yeah. My pitaka protected my 15 pro perfectly…because it wasn’t made of coke can.
