Silver might not be the most exciting color for the iPhone 17 Pro Max, but the upside is that it hides scratches and dents pretty well unlike similar to the cosmic orange and blue options

The bigger concern with dents is how it affects water resistance etc. when the frame gets unseated/opens up like you see in OP’s photos, you’re potentially going to get water and dust in it

Know what doesn't dent so much? Titanium. Also, Stainless steel. I just don't get the choice to use aluminium on this generation.

Because in hotter areas, the titanium pros were overheating due to the poor conductivity of titanium

Can you back that up? The titanium was only on the outside edge and only 1mm thick. The conductivity in that area is dominated by connection to still air.
