If you just got one of the bright new orange iPhone 17 models, you need to check the surface of your phone right now. Some customers are already noticing streaks of pink appearing on their devices, and experts are pointing to a potential manufacturing defect involving a faulty seal as the culprit. This is exactly the kind of unexpected drama you don’t want with an Apple.
We first saw this widespread issue pop up thanks to a video from Apple customer @miostoo, who shared their experience on TikTok. They showed their orange iPhone 17 Pro Max starting to turn pink after a mere two weeks of use. In their video, you can clearly see metallic pink streaks developing around the phone’s cameras. It’s pretty shocking, and the video was captioned: “2 weeks after my iPhone 17 Pro Max started turning pink… this is crazy!!!!!”
