However - in pursuit of aesthetic perfection - Apple has forgotten about the limits of coating durability. Anodizing does not stick to corners very well. And that law of physics will come back to haunt the owners of this new iPhone 17 Pro if they run without a case. The new iPhone 17 Pro camera plateau will chip.

Either way though - I would prefer a chip off the ol' anodizing over a cracked back glass panel any day of the week.

Would you buy the new Apple iPhone 17 Pro? Or do you like the Glass slab style smartphone better?
