Last year it was cosmic orange, now it's the main color of iPhones 18 Pro burgundy red. It's elegant and pretty, although not too flashy, and it gives different shades under different lights. And I have it on my iPhone 18 Pro Max After two weeks of use without the cover, it got scuffed.
No need to apologize for the size Pro Max iPhones. They are really big devices, but that's also why they have such a large display and a huge battery. If this is a benefit for you, you have to accept the size and take into account that if you wrap the phone in a cover or case, it will increase both in size and weight. And iPhone 17 Pro Max It is big, thick and heavy on its own.
I used it for a year, but with the cover on, it was only minirarely and only in "dangerous" situations, like hiking, gardening, etc. I have a MagSafe stand on my desk, so most of the time I spent at the computer it rested in it, nicely in the air. I actually rarely put it on my back.

Even though Apple redesigned the photo module, which runs the entire width of the back, the lenses are constantly sticking out of it, making the phone wobble on the table. And apparently it wobbled in my case too, so much so that I scratched the bottom right corner. You can see how light it is in the gallery above. So it's a scuffed paint, not a scratchance or other damage, it's really just a scuffed orange.

ProBurgundy red is also a problem
With regard to the cosmic orange, there was a lot of criticism on the Internet about it turning pink. So I didn't suffer from a change in shade over the year, but it's true that I didn't expect this. The phone is otherwise untouched. Even so, it can be understood to a certain extent, if you consider that I used the phone for a year as my main machine and I really maxHe exploited immeasurably. ProThe problem is that I also see this phenomenon on my burgundy red iPhone. 18 Pro Maxwhich I have only been using for 14 days.

As I wrote in review, iPhone 18 Pro Max I used the phone without a cover for the entire 14 days since it went on sale, so that I could know and feel better how it heats up. In this regard, the phone was definitely a pleasure. However, while writing the content and taking pictures of the phone for the review, I had not yet noticed what I am now, and in connection with iPhonem 17 Pro Max.
When I saw his worn orange, I just glanced at the same spot on the iPhone 18 Pro Max. And it was a real surprise when I saw the paint peeling off in the same place. It's not grease or anything else, you can't wipe it off with your finger and it's really already polished paint at the most stressed point. Of course, this can have two results. The first is that the abrasion stabilizes and stays at the current level, but the second is that it will continue to peel off even to the color of the aluminum. I will of course keep you informed about the progress.
are you going to claim it? is it something that would pass a complaint at all?
I'm not going to address it. I'm just going to see how quickly it progresses with regular use. I'm not going to get upset about it, I'm just going to take it as it is.
Hey, they made the iPhone an aluminum scumbag last year and this year, so it's no wonder. Hey, aluminum is not abrasion-resistant. If only we had some crap APPLE he says around the mouth that aluminum is as good as TITAN, so he wouldn't use titanium even in AIRU and DUA. ProA 35+ thousand aluminum bike is disgusting!!! I'll stick with the PRO 16 this year and see next year, but if it's aluminum again, then I'll go back to something else. ProI'm not even buying a new computer this year, etc.... because I don't know what ecosystem I'll choose
Anyway, "holt", not "hold", three times...
The phone is only silver, or with a frame color that matches the color of the aluminum as closely as possible. Even if it doesn't get scuffed, you can't avoid minor scratches and the color is visible from a distance. These colors are out in a year anyway, so I don't know why bother with it. Especially if someone stuffs it in a package.
The phone only rang, like... Air
And without packaging
The more stupid the color, the more prone to shifting. It's just painted aluminum. So either in the cover or ideally some light color where it won't be so visible. I'm going to Duo and take the white. The dark blue one will turn out the same.
It's not colored.
My girlfriend wanted the burgundy one, but in real life it's almost brown. It's not a nice color, so I'm not sure.onec about pale blue.
But that's not varnish... You write in the article that the varnish is peeling, but miniat least 17 and now 18 are not painted but an oxidized layer of aluminum...
Thanks for the clarification.
And that's why I'm still sticking with the titanium model, maybe I'll consider switching to a new model in a year or two Duobecause I'm planning to change my iPad too, so I'll take it one step at a time. :)
But that's still a long way off, maybe something will change.
And you'll see what happens to it after a year of use 8-) – an unsellable and worn-out piece.
If the owner doesn't buy a cover, sooner or later the paint will fade. The only way out is silver. variaor packaging, but the original color does not stand out in the packaging.
Aluminum (as in iPhone 6) used in this year's and last year's models is the worst varianothing regarding durability.
Titanium for 16/15 and stainless steel for 14 or for the version Air was much more durable!
This year's thighs are like last year's Apple he threw a coin.
Maybe there could have been a marker of the same color in the package to repair scratchesancs :-)
I have 17 for Max and it's scuffed everywhere and a lot. The blue one. ProI'll skip the 18 pro, I don't want to pay for this.
