It wouldn't be a proper Apple release without a design controversy. After antennagate, bendgate and butterfly keyboardgate (OK, that doesn't quite have the ring to it), Apple now faces iPhone 17 scratchgate, and its attempts to dismiss the problem aren't convincing people.
On the very same day that the new iPhone was released, there were reports that the range is prone to scratching, and that it's particularly notable on the Pro after the tech giant's decision to move back to aluminium from titanium. According to Apple, it's just 'material transfer'. But, in the words of Soulwax, is the excuse good enough for what you're paying? (My advice is get one of the best iPhone 17 cases).
