Moan all you want, I doubt Apple will listen. I’m happy with my 17 Pro.

I'm not bothered as I'm happy with my Air. But as stated earlier, the discussion about the material not being as durable is a valid discussion.

Even if you would rather try to shut people up. Nobody is telling you to be unhappy with your 17 Pro.
 
Also as a 15 pro max user before upgrading to the 17 Pro max I am fine with my 17 pro max purchase and plan to keep it until the iPhone 19 or 20. Was anyone else here on these forums when Jerry Rig's 15 Pro max durability test video dropped? The back shattered instantly in his hand and everyone was trashing titanium and saying that it feels less premium/ cheap compared to the stainless steel build on the 14 pro max. Then of course "heatgate" got added on and people said the phone was terrible. Yet now, people don't mind and think the phone is fine. I feel like the same will happen here. Like I mentioned, cosmetic damage sucks but as long as the phone still functions after drops is all that really matters. A case can hide chips and dings at the end of the day. Nothing can hide a shattered screen.

This, so much this. Apple's been making aluminum iPhones for years but slap the Pro name on it. and hoo boy.

I just don't understand people who know that they're buying an aluminum iPhone (or don't return it) and then whine that they have an aluminum iPhone. That's ... not a good look for them. They should really just vote with their wallet and not buy an aluminum iPhone in the first place.
 
With all the damage being talked about in this thread, you'd think people were playing frisbee golf with their phones. Yikes!
