However, Apple could be finding itself embroiled in a new controversy with ‘scratchgate.’ Reports show the aluminum unibody of iPhone 17 Pro and 17 Pro Max in particular showing major scuffs and scratches. I’ve also checked out our Lavender iPhone 17, Sky Blue iPhone Air, and Deep Blue iPhone 17 Pro Max review units to see if they have any scratches. Darker colors typically show them more, but I couldn’t find any on the Deep Blue iPhone 17 Pro Max. And check out our own guides to the best iPhone 17 cases and best iPhone Air cases. We're also working on case roundups for the iPhone 17 Pro series.
