Owners of Apple's new iPhone 17 Pro — especially those who chose the striking Cosmic Orange finish — are reporting something unusual: their phones are gradually shifting colour from vibrant orange to a pink or rose-gold tone. Multiple tech sites have covered the phenomenon, which has sparked irritation among buyers who feel they did not sign up for a colour transformation.
One Reddit user expressed the frustration: "My Orange iPhone 17 Pro Max turned rose gold... I wanted orange, not pink." The colour shift appears most pronounced around the metal frame and camera 'plateau,' rather than the back panel, suggesting an issue with the aluminium surface finish.
