iPhone 17 Pro Max Iphone 17 Pro Max Silver Antenna Scratches!

Looks like the silver has issues aswell. It came like this when I opened it. Why did Apple wrap the entire camera plateau perimeter in this cheap antenna plastic? I’ve seen scratches like this before on ipad pros but never on iphone pro’s

These banding areas have been prone to mark very easily over the years..

Nothing you can do about it, it’s just the material they have used

Silver too is having issues. Saw multiple demo models in store yesterday having marks just like that. The demo units were in store only for a couple of hours. Very disappointing.

I zoomed in 40x and saw it. 🤨

It occurs on the Ultra watches also because I had this very issue, as mentioned, absolutely nothing you can do do.

Just deal with it. The chances of the next one being worse are quite high. As long as there are no defects on the aluminum or dust in the lenses, what you’ve shown is pretty normal.

Really? I didnt zoom in on my phone and saw it. Time to visit your eye doc

I will be keeping it as the screen is pretty much perfect and I have no other issues besides some very light blemishes near the charging port in certain lighting. Its just dissapointing that apple has doubled down on cheap material for the pro phones. These antenna bands have always traditionally just been little parts on the side of the phones, so had less of a chance of these arriving all scratched up

I was using my phone, not yours but then again I forgot to type sarcasm in parenthesis for you. 😏

That’s a non issue imo

Does it come off even with wiping or anything?

You won't believe it, but I get similar marks after taking the original Apple Black Silicone Case on and off.
