Apple Explains Reason Behind 'Scratchgate' Issue on iPhone 17 Pro Demo Units
Apple has issued an explanation behind the ‘scratchgate’ narrative surrounding the new iPhone 17 Pro and iPhone 17 Pro Max, as per a report. Since their launch, the top-of-the-line iPhone models have garnered headlines, but not for all the right reasons. Following their availability in stores, multiple reports surfaced that claimed that the new iPhone models were extremely prone to scratches, especially around the new MagSafe cutout. However, the Cupertino-based tech giant has rebuffed these claims, citing worn MagSafe stands as the reason.
