Some Cosmic Orange iPhone 17 Pros Seeing Discoloration Issue [Updated]

Why would you mention AI or fakes?

Apple has been replacing the devices exhibiting this.

Big deal. The phone was already ugly and cheap looking.

That’s your personal hot take. I love my orange phone and a lot of people who have seen my phone say how much they like it.

How long until we find out people have been putting these in tanning beds for clout?

I have orange ("mango") bicycle parts that do not have this problem. Perhaps apple made the surface too rough and difficult to seal.

 

[bmark]

Funny how every iPhone issue is a small number according to Apple which downplays everything!

 

[AdamHarbour]

You think Apple has been replacing fake iPhones?

Think about all the ways that would not be possible...

Where have Apple confirmed they are replacing phones cause of this ? 🙄

I don't understand why some people have a hard time believing this. This is one of the smallest of an endless stream of f**k ups that Apple has been doing these few years. Of course it happens. I'd be very surprised when something like this does not happen, especially at launch.

Assuming this image is real for the moment, the color change is very even throughout. The only difference is the lip of the camera bump and that's also evenly orange (maybe the bump area holds more dye/stain).

I'm surprised that accidental oxidation would change the color uniformly. I'm not saying it didn't happen, but it is interesting.

The phone would look decent if the glass and antenna bands were white/translucent instead of tinted orange.

I bet there is a market for intentionally changing the color with chemical treatment.

Cosmic Peach.

Makes me actually want to buy the orange phone more. Looks hot

I always wondered if it was some type of lotion or hand sanitizer people are using that is causing this.

iPod Socks step aside Tim Cook releases the iPhone Gloves.

Good lord 🤦‍♂️ What a bunch of amateurs!

Users apply oxidizing agents are literal plants from competitors seeking to damage Apple sales.

All your agents are belong to plants.

 

[klasma]

Who knew that exposure to a bleaching agent might ... I don't know ... bleach it?

Maybe they were hoping to bleach it, but it turned pink instead of silver.

 

[klasma]

iOS 26.4 will fix it

Will it have Contextual Orange?

 

[klasma]

That definitely makes it look more “cosmic”!

Cosmic redshift!

 

[maflynn]

You're coloring it wrong

 

[ProbablyDylan]

I wonder if other chemicals can get us to different colors. Who's willing to experiment?

because nothing online is real

Oh god, the AI psyop is working. We're doomed as a species!

 

[adamlbiscuit]

From Cosmic Orange to Cherry Red - at least if you get bored of your iPhone colour mid-cycle you can get a new look for free /s

 

[3Rock]

We have one user that puts his device in a case with no cleaning or exposing to direct sunlight. It changed to pink within a week.

If that were true, then you would have many many more if not thousands more reporting this.

 

[Ramchi]

Blame the Oxidation company or Foxconn or someone who is 10,000 miles far away!

 

[Haiku_Oezu]

This is inexcusable but the iPhone in the photo looks kinda cool tbh

 

[HouseLannister]

iPhone 18 Pro Max... Back to the Future! Introducing our new stainless steel unibody design. If you're going to build the world's best phone, why not do it with some style?

 

[Metrognome]

Is it a mood sensor?
