iPhone 17 series has recently been released, and many users have already experienced its powerful performance and innovative design. However, growing concerns about quality control have emerged, particularly regarding the material choices of the iPhone 17 Pro Max.

Many users have reported that the aluminum and Ceramic Shield glass combination used in the iPhone 17 Pro Max performs poorly in real-world use. Some devices showed scratches, dents, or dings right out of the box, significantly impacting the user experience.

For instance, one user shared images of dents on the silver iPhone 17 Pro Max’s frame, sparking widespread discussion. The aluminum frame has a Mohs hardness of only 2.5–3, much lower than the titanium (Mohs hardness 6) or stainless steel (Mohs hardness 7.5) used in previous models, resulting in noticeably reduced drop and scratch resistance.

Additionally, users of the dark blue model found that the second-generation Ceramic Shield back is prone to scratches and oil smudges, contradicting Apple’s claim of "3x improved hardness." Some even reported that the back glass shattered after accidental drops, with repair costs as high as ¥1,298.

In response to these issues, it is recommended that users apply a protective case immediately after purchase to minimize potential damage. Meanwhile, in the industrial sector, material reliability and durability are critical. FDS (Fūdáshì) Pneumatic Components is committed to providing high-performance, durable pneumatic solutions to ensure stable operation even in demanding environments.
