It has been a while since the iPhone had a ‘-gate’ dispute, but the new iPhone 17 Pro lineup seems to have sparked ‘scratchgate’. Some users have claimed that Deep Vanda blue and cosmic orange iPhone 17 Pro and 17 Pro Max scratch very easily.
From YouTuber Zack Nelson Jerirage, in its durability tests, it was found that the iPhone 17 Pro Series is easily scratched, especially around the sharp edge of a large rear camera module.
According to him, this issue is in anodized coating, which struggles to adhere to this sharp edge. The problem is especially noticeable on the types of blue and orange of the iPhone 17 Pro, where the coating on the edge can chip with everyday contact from things like keys or coins.
While the new aluminum unibody design on the iPhone 17 Pro Series helps in heat dissipation, the weakness of scratches is a bad look for apples.
The only reliable way to protect your precious new iPhone 17 Pro or 17 Pro Max from Scratches is to use the case.

While the sharp edge around the Camera Mera module remains sensitive, both pro models otherwise push durability tests, performing exceptionally well in all other fields.
