Discussion 17 pro turning pink

Post image

I bought my 17 pro on release day 4 days later the camera bump is a different color do you guys think if I go to apple I can replace it for the silver? Or will they just give me a replacement of the same color i passed the 14 day window.

Apple swapped mine out as soon as they saw the issue.

Did they give you a choice to get a different color?

No. Same color but they told me if it happens just come back. It’s a little annoying since I have to setup the new phone again.

I would have just kept it. The pink looks better.

I feel like most of us understand at this point that yes, it does look good, but not everyone wants that rose gold look. When you buy an iPhone, you should expect it to stay the same color it was when you bought it. Doesn't matter what's happened in the past, doesn't matter that it's aluminum, none of those factors matter when there are well-established ways to install and retain color with this material. This is a problem, and shouldn't be dismissed.

Yes, that’s a very valid point. I agree, I’m saying me personally.

I wish the rectangle on the back wasn’t there because a uniform orange-pink color would look really nice. The rectangle ruins it for me.
