Bodygard, 18 Oct 2025"Never buy any smartphone (car, device, whatever) in t... more3 months or even 12 months after release wont get any difference. Tell me what company will resolve the product defect in the next batch? Remember bend gate? Apple wont fix the issue in next batch

Company today wont bother to resolve product defect, it will affect manufacturing delay for long, for just 1 years, they will just be go with it and resolve it in next generation

    The iPhone only comes in black and white, yeah? Everything else is just extra.

      You should buy it brand new and open the box, look at the phone, admire the phone, embrace the phone, put it back in the box and leave it in the drawer... That's how you use new iPhone... Anything more than this will lead to discoloration and scratches.

              sounds like Indian manufacturing QC issues again. lots of smartphones manufactured there seems to have this issue, like Nokia G42 Pink version which the Indian one seems different in color shade than other region.

              I myself went to several Apple distributor stores and play around with 17. Chinese manufactured ones still doesn't color shift or even getting easily scratched after being tested by people. Until Indian factory get their rear together in QC, I'll refrain getting electronics manufactured there. Even Vietnam isn't as horrible

                It's a feature, so that users don't get bored with the same color

                                  Vivo freakingly stick glass effects and imitate iOS 26 animations on Originos, Apple goofily took color changing back panel on Vivo phones and pasted it to IP17Pro.
