iPhone 17 Pro's Camera Bump: A Design Flaw?
2025-09-22

Durability tests reveal a significant weakness: the sharp edges of the iPhone 17 Pro and 17 Pro Max camera bump are easily scratched. JerryRigEverything demonstrates that the anodized aluminum's poor adhesion at the corners, a known issue with the process, leads to coating wear. Apple seemingly prioritized aesthetics over durability. Everyday items like keys can chip the coating, though the damage is cosmetic. Consider a protective case if you've pre-ordered.
