To clarify the discussion of scratches in iPhone 17 Pro: There is only one weak point to worry about “Scratchgate”
A new discussion comes with each new iPhone model, in which case the iPhone 17 Pro is known as “scratchgate”
The iPhone 17 Pro comes with a new anodized aluminum design that is highly controversial. Beyond that, as you like more or more, users appear. Very concerned about the scratch resistance of new models. We have such a official name: “Scratchgate”.
This is different Images appearing on social networks We can be damaged by these scratches. In most cases, although it damages the iPhone in the Apple Store, damages affecting previous models. Fortunately, the new iPhone 17 Pro, got their hands. Youtuber JerryrigeytingIt clarified the “scratchgate”.
Pro iphone 17 is very resistant to scratches, there is only one weak spot in designs
. The iPhone 17 Pro is built in aluminum and is obtained by a process called color anodization. Aluminum is an electrolytic treatment that forms a controlled oxide layer to protect it on the surface and give it a better appearance. And more resistance to corrosion and abrasion is obtained, the possibility of providing a harder surface and color coatings than aluminum.
As Jerry said, There are 9 hardness levels on MOHS hardness scale in anodized iPhone aluminumOnly the level of 10 diamonds can be seen in their videos, as well as the scratches that occur in the housing are not really scratches and can only be removed by passing their finger. But, IPhone 17 Pro has “Achilles Heel” in the design.
The biggest problem comes in the cameras module that Apple calls “plateau” or “plateau”. The edge of this platon is not round, but extremely sharpAnd it loses anodized productivity in this area.
The corners of the camera module are more sensitive to scratches
It is the weakest point of the coating, because there is not enough substrate or aluminum to hold aluminum oxide firmly in that sharp corner.
Apparently Apple designed it, but bets The scratches in that area will notice more easily. Something very similar to those with the black iPhone 5 in these areas, loses anodized efficiency in these areas. We understand that Apple prefers this design, but I am not surprised if they change in future generations for a curved design that gives less problems.
Therefore, yes, iPhone 17 Pro has “Scratchgate”. However, as usual, everything was enlarged when it comes to Apple’s device. Really Except for the edge of the camera module, the device is very resistantplaces where it is more sensitive and can easily skip the color. If it is something that worries you, I bet the silver color that it will barely notice.
