The iPhone 17 Pro Max ‘Cosmic Orange’ was just released not long ago, and there are already reports of a ‘color change’ issue? Users abroad shared pictures, claiming their ‘Cosmic Orange’ iPhone 17 Pro Max has slowly turned into ‘rose gold’ in less than a month, as if their phone transformed like magic! This incident has sparked considerable discussion on Reddit, with some skeptics suggesting the images are edited. The original poster insists, ‘Who would be bored enough to fake a color change?’ They even plan to request a replacement at the Apple Store because they’re only fond of that vibrant orange, not rose gold. So why is this ‘color-changing phenomenon’ happening? Experts explained that the iPhone 17 Pro Max’s casing is made from anodized aluminum, which can fade or change color due to sunlight and oxidation. If the anodized layer is not sealed properly, the fading can accelerate. Speculations are rising among users, with comments like ‘This is basically a hidden edition color!’ and ‘I would have bought the rose gold if I had known.’ However, this ‘fading gate’ is raising doubts about Apple’s quality control. Someone even asked, ‘Did this batch really pass testing?’ Currently, Apple has not publicly responded to this color change incident, but many consumers hope for a prompt explanation and solution. After all, most fans spend a lot of money on the Pro Max to own a beautiful, durable flagship device. It’s worth knowing why their phone transforms into ‘rose gold’ shortly after purchase. Additionally, in a related incident, Apple recently announced that scratches on display models are due to wear from display stands, not an issue with the metal itself, and they are taking steps to replace the stands. Let’s hope Apple addresses the ‘Cosmic Orange’ color change issue soon!
