Apple’s $1,000 Mistake: iPhone 17 Pro "Scratch-Gate" 🧨

Apple just ignored an international standard, and it’s going to haunt every iPhone 17 Pro owner. 📉 Here is the truth about "Scratch-gate." We're diving into the @JerryRigEverything durability test to see why the new "Cosmic Orange" and "Deep Blue" iPhone 17 Pro frames are chipping. While the Ceramic Shield 2 is legendary, Apple’s decision to use a "sharp cliff" camera plateau violates ISO and Military standards for anodizing. The Flaw: Anodized aluminum oxide (Level 9 hardness) cannot stick to sharp 90-degree corners. The Standard: ISO 7599 says edges need a radius 10x the coating thickness. Apple chose 0. The Result: Even a coin or key in your pocket will shear the color off, revealing silver aluminum underneath. The Fix: It’s not your fault—it’s a geometry fail. Your only hope is a case.
