Turns out, scratches aren’t the only issue plaguing the iPhone 17 Pro lineup. Multiple users are now posting photos of their new devices showing sudden discoloration.
Photos shared on Reddit show the Cosmic Orange iPhone 17 Pro Max turning into shades of pink or rose gold. The discoloration is affecting the aluminum case, while the matte glass in the middle remains its original shade.
The worst part is that the problem doesn’t seem limited to the orange model. A user on MacRumors Forums has also shared his Deep Blue iPhone 17 Pro with discoloration on the camera bar.
It’s unclear what’s causing the issue or how widespread it is, but reports are appearing across multiple social media platforms, including Reddit, Facebook, and TikTok. So it may have affected a notable number of users.
One Reddit user suggested the discoloration could be caused by UV light exposure, though it’s hard to believe this theory. Apple obviously knows the phones will be used outdoors.
Nevertheless, if you are one of those affected by this, it’s best to contact Apple Support. Since the devices are all under warranty, they could either repair it or replace the unit altogether.
Apple made some bold changes with the iPhone 17 Pro’s design this year. The new camera plateau, two-part back design, and switch to good ol’ aluminum after using titanium on iPhone 15 Pro and 16 Pro. It’s also the first time the Pro models haven’t been offered in a neutral dark or black color.
But these changes may have been affecting users in more ways than one. Hopefully, Apple identifies the cause soon and provides a fix for affected users.
