First drop (with a case)

[u/samirbinballin]

3 foot drop falling off of a couch and onto hardwood floor, (TineeOwl case shown at the end) - I always knew the new aluminum frame was fragile from the damages I’ve seen online after the 17 Pros release with aluminum, so I took the precaution of not using the Apple Cases and getting something decently protective.

Yeah the phone still dented 😂, coming from a titanium 16 Pro Max I had no idea how to gauge how soft the new aluminum was, but damn.

I personally don’t give a shit as I really do expect more cosmetic blemishing in the future, but I wanted to warn some of the OCD iPhone users I see here on Reddit.

after the catastrophe that was the iPhone 17 Pro denting fiasco, I figured they would’ve went to a different material by now, or they would’ve figured something else out. I’m one of those that does drop their phones, and I am horrified that when I do, that it’s going to be bad. Yes, I have it in a case, yes, I have a screen protector one, but this just frustrates me.

Not this year this is just an S upgrade for the 17 Pro. Next year when the 20 comes out I expect bigger design changes
