YouTuber Zack Nelson in his durability tests, from Jerrigeverything, found that the iPhone 17 Pro series easily scratches, especially around the sharp edges of the large rear camera module.
According to him, the issue lies in the anodized coating, which struggles to follow these sharp edges. The problem is particularly worth noting on the blue and orange variants of the iPhone 17 Pro, where coating on the edge can stick with everyday exposure to objects such as keys or coins.
While the new aluminum unibody design on the iPhone 17 Pro series helps with heat discipline, vulnerability for scratch is a bad form for apples.
The only reliable way to protect the new iPhone 17 Pro or 17 Pro Max from scratches is to use a case.
