Yesterday it was reported that some iPhone 17 Pro and iPhone Air models on display at Apple retail stores. However, Apple told 9to5Mac there’s a simply explanation.
Apple told the publication’s Chance Miller that it’s has determined these imperfections are caused by worn MagSafe stands used in some stores. It also clarifies that the marks aren’t scratches, but rather material transfer from the stand to the phone that is removable with cleaning.
The company told Miller that it’s working to address these problems at the stores, presumably by replacing the worn MagSafe stands. The scratches appear to be most prominent on models with darker finishes, including the iPhone 17 Pro and Pro Max in Deep Blue, and the iPhone Air in Space Black.
