Apple Blames In-Store MagSafe Chargers for iPhone 17 Pro Display Model Scratches

My mum has a 17 Pro Max and it's already scratched to hell and hers is in a case.

Tbh I liked the SS design best, no case on my 12 Pro Max and my shiny rim still has no scratches... Though my screen is scratched to hell despite only ever living in my pocket, cause the whole "scratch resistant" marketing for them is BS.

Impossible, no way that in five days time (assuming that she got it on launch day) that a phone is in a case is "scratched to hell".

I'm struggle to believe this... The Blue phone can get minor scratches with a nail...
The coating is not very well done.

Yes and their priority is to keep the margin high instead of choosing a better material.

Nonsense. Just utter nonsense. They've tried all sorts of materials. Over many years. Aluminum is the best material for thermal performance while maintaining a light weight and strong structural frame.

Do you mean a fingernail, or a "hammer and nail" nail?

Why put “scratches” in the clickbait headline, then immediately explain how they’re not scratches?

'Cause that's how clickbait works!

My Blue iPhone 12 that is made out of aluminum and glass, has been used without a case since 2020 and I have exactly 1 small scratch on it. But I have a friend that has the same Blue iPhone and it is scratched to death. There is a lesson in there somewhere...

The phones don’t scratch themselves. We do something that gives them scratches. Apple can make a phone as scratch resistant as they possibly can, and there will always be somebody who manages to scratch it. Get over it. If you put your phone in the same pocket with your keys, that is on you.

If people talks about scratches on their car when driving down the streets like how people talks about scratches on their phones, there will be no dirty cars on the street and all dump trucks will be impounded.
