Apple’s highly anticipated iPhone 17 Pro and iPhone Air are facing early backlash as users report visible scratches just days after launch. Photos from Apple Stores in New York, London, and Hong Kong show scuffed display units—especially in Deep Blue and Space Black. Social media users dubbed the controversy “Scratch-Gate,” slamming the new aluminum frame, which replaced the more durable titanium.

While the damage is cosmetic, frustrated buyers are rushing to cover their $1,500 devices in protective cases—raising questions about Apple’s material choices and premium pricing.
