Other iPhone 17 Pro Scratchgate

I’m not a fancy engineer but I will just put this here for Apple to take.. dlc.. design your phone around this first then design heat dissipation and that, not the other way around.. if you want people that actually know what they are doing in the real world hit me up… lol

I agree, it is a forum for discussion. So let's hear some and not "I've been here forever and I used to care about these things but they're now irrelevant because I'm older and busier and no longer do." Wouldn't exactly call that discussion. Not really worth pointing out that you don't personally think a cosmetic flaw in the design of a $1,000+ electronic devise is not worth YOUR time.

BTW, and not that it matters at all, but I've been here since 2008 as well 🤣

Sure. Have a good day.

Does anyone have any suggestions or have been personally affected by this yet? Seems like most of this “gate” is a tempest in a teapot, like most have been in recent years.

 

[t.n.d.]

So is the "palteau" scratchable after all? Why do most of the cases have an empty space at the camera bump sections?

Looks ugly!

The plateau itself looks to be quite scratch resistant instead of the corners... But overall it's aluminium - you can't expect miracles.
