Earlier reports suggest that some iPhone 17 Pro users experienced paint chipping, colour fading and surface wear, particularly around the camera module and edges. The issue was linked to the anodised aluminium finish, which can be more vulnerable to cosmetic damage over time.<\/p>\n

Fixed Focus Digital recently warned that the iPhone 18 Pro’s new colour options may face similar paint-peeling problems if Apple retains the same manufacturing approach.<\/p>\n

Apple moved away from titanium with the iPhone 17 Pro lineup, citing benefits such as better thermal management and reduced weight. While many users appreciated the cooler…<\/p>\n
