iPhone 17 Pro Is your cosmic orange 17 Pro/Pro Max turning pink?

How do you know these pictures are true?

These days, the question is very pertinent.

We don’t. But it’s now being reported in more places

Not sure whether it an issue affecting large number of users. Have been using my Orange Pro Max for the last 6 days. Put it in a clear case the day I received it. See no issues with it. Love the color.

How do you know they are not? I guess if they are, we will start to see more and more pop up in the next few weeks. Could be a bad batch.

It will be interesting to see if these pictures are genuine. It would be incredible if a company the size of Apple, with the resources available to them, would fail to test their anodising process with substance and UV type tests before releasing to market.

These days, the problem isn’t too many true, unaltered, non-AI pictures. Otherwise, I agree, let’s see.

iPhones shift in color range with age as part of its unique aesthetic and design properties.

 

[Unami]

looks nice, though

Just get a giant case, put it in a bag, then in Tupperware, then use gloves when touching it, then only hold the screen, and sticker glass looking thingy on the back. Stop complaining

People on this forum will actually tell you that it's ok for hardware issues to happen because if you spend too much time on QC, you get left behind the competition.

Ha! Perhaps Apple could turn this rather unfortunate oversight into a piece of marketing genius? An evolving surface finish.

"Bored of your orange iPhone? Don't worry, because in aproximately 4 to 5 weeks after purchase, the exterior finish will have patches of pink for the complete bespoke experience..."

Disclaimer: This is satire and there is no conclusive evidence this issue is true....

I used to like Playskool colored things too. Then I grew up.

Now that's just mean... You know many folks here bought this phone and you're basically insulting them

Sometimes, it's just one person's fake video (or deliberately-damaged phone) that gets copied and talked about everywhere.

 

[NotApplicable]

Probably sweat

 

[Spinarelo]

Probably sweat

Sweat will not discolor aluminum, unless the guy sweats vinegar or some other chemical

 

[thefrost]

Wow. That's hilarious. I'm not sure that's real though.

 

[sumland]

Sweat may be able to change the color of anodized aluminum over time, but the time period in this instance is less than a month. I'm leaning toward Photoshop or AI manipulation.

Introducing Dynamic Color Shift, now your iPhone will dynamically shift colors over time giving you a fresh new look. We think you’re going to love it.

Nice! There was a Bollywood movie years back that had a similar premise -- the bleeding Madras shirt. The defective apparel will bleed in every washing, but voilá you now have a new different shirt each time!

Only if you use the orange Tupperware from the 70s though.

Come on guys, they must have had test units out in all sorts of scenarios. I can’t believe that of the thousands of hours of testing they knew it could change colour and still release it? I’m betting fake!

 

[Hajj.david]

I really hate the -gate. "BENDGATE" nah it should of been called Bendghazi (after the Benghazi disaster).

 

[LionTeeth]

What an absolute disaster these pros are

First designed by interns. And now changing colors like the hot cold hot wheels cars lol

 

[kenta_]

Amazing what a sharpie can do.

Portland! Look at the TV‘s!!!

At the end they can only trust their suppliers, I guess.

Honestly, I’d love to have one of these color shifting units.
