"Specifically, there have been photos of iPhones in Apple Stores showing wear from MagSafe chargers, and owners posting photos of damage around the camera plateau. Apple has reached out to to respond to these concerns, saying the scratches around the MagSafe are not scratches but material transfer from the stand to the phone that can be removed with some cleaning, and that the durability of the camera plateau is no different from the anodized aluminum found on other Apple products."
"Also: I tested the iPhone 17 Pro Max, and here's one big reason for a year-over-year upgrade Even if you put it in a case, the slight flexing of the case around the iPhone will cause wear to the finish. Add the inevitable dirt and schmoo that gets inside the case, and the wear accelerates. I have come across the issue of MagSafe chargers causing what looks like wear on the back of iPhones in the past,"
Social media has shown photos of iPhone 17 Pro and Pro Max units in deep blue finish with apparent wear from MagSafe chargers and damage around the camera plateau. Apple says the marks around MagSafe are material transfer from the stand that can be removed with cleaning, and that the camera plateau uses anodized aluminum with durability consistent with other products. Normal use will produce small abrasions over time. Slight case flexing plus dirt and grime trapped inside cases can accelerate wear, and MagSafe chargers can compact grime into metal surfaces. Repairs can cost hundreds of dollars, so using a protective case is advised.
