iPhone 17 Pro One Year Later: What Held Up and What Didn't

If the return window is 30 days then just wait for the Keynote and make up your mind depending on improvements, trade-offs and retail price!

my buddy did that at Costco 2-3 years ago.

Aluminum scratches too easily

Please switch back to titanium next year!!

Judging by my watches, titanium scratches pretty easily unless it has a durability coating to protect it.

I've never had a phone as dented and scratched as this one

My 17 Pro has been fantastic. It runs cooler, is brighter in the sun for longer (it’s never dimmed all the way to useless), and the battery lasts longer than my old 12 Pro Max battery (even when it was 100% capacity). It’s really an impressive device. I don’t have any scratches either (not even micro ones). I do use a case (open case backless design) since aluminum dents easily. Not mentioned, the 8x camera, I love that thing.

Define your terms. Micro-scratch? Easily?

Aluminum dents easily? That means its absorbing the impact, which is a good thing.

You’re tone could use some work.
