Overview
- Consomac observed MagSafe display stands fitted with an outer silicone ring on Apple Store tables, with the change reported by MacRumors.
- The modification has been seen in France, and it remains unclear if it reflects a wider rollout to other countries.
- Apple previously confirmed that apparent scratches on some iPhone 17 Pro display units were caused by material transfer from worn in-store chargers.
- Apple said the residue could be cleaned off and noted that other display models, including some iPhone 16 units, were also affected, with reports extending to iPhone Air.
- Separately, Apple addressed concerns about wear on the iPhone 17 Pro camera plateau, describing edge scuffing over time as typical for anodized aluminum surfaces.
