Overview

• Apple offers the iPhone 17 Pro and Pro Max in three finishes—Silver, Deep Blue, and Cosmic Orange—replacing prior gray, black, and gold options.
• Early store and handling reports flagged visible scuffs on darker units, with Deep Blue showing scratches most clearly on edges and the camera plateau.
• Silver is widely recommended for a longer‑lasting clean look because the underlying aluminum closely matches the finish when the anodized layer is nicked.
• Cosmic Orange delivers the distinctive 2025 look and disguises light scuffs better than Deep Blue, though it still trails Silver for perceived durability.
• The new aluminum unibody and full‑width camera plateau expose more color when cased, making case selection a key factor in choosing a finish.
