Some Cosmic Orange iPhone 17 Pro Models Reported to Turn Pink

Apple has not commented, with cases so far appearing limited to isolated units.

Overview

  • User posts on Reddit and X show Cosmic Orange iPhone 17 Pro and Pro Max devices shifting toward a rose-gold or pink hue.
  • Discoloration is most visible on the aluminum frame and camera housing, while some backs and the MagSafe ring remain orange in shared images.
  • Observers suggest aluminum oxidation and inconsistent anodized sealing as the likely cause, with UV, heat, or chemical exposure also floated by commenters.
  • No official acknowledgment, remedy, or exchange program has been announced, and reports of successful replacements have not been confirmed.
  • Coverage characterizes the issue as isolated or batch-specific so far, with owners advised to document changes and contact Apple Support for evaluation.
