Appleās iPhone 17 Pro: Elegant Scratch Magnet Deluxe
Apple rolled out the iPhone 17 Pro in 'Cosmic Orange'āa shade so fancy it distracts from the legendary scratch party on its anodized aluminum camera bump. iFixit's microscopic teardown revealed the camera 'plateau' scratches look like a modern art exhibit dedicated to user regret. Engineer David Niebuhr pointed out that Appleās decision to keep a 'relatively sharp corner' rather than a gentle curve on the camera bump means your $1,199 investment doubles as a cheese grater. The kicker? Apple praised for a screwed-in battery but still demands screen removals for repairs, unlike their more user-friendly iPhone Air. Basically, the 17 Pro dares you to choose between beauty and pain, without a case if you value your digits.
