The problem of color change has come to light in the Cosmic Orange models of Apple iPhone 17 Pro and 17 Pro Max. Know why the orange shade of the phone is changing to pink and what precautions Apple has given to the users.
The ‘Cosmic Orange’ color of Apple’s new iPhone 17 Pro and iPhone 17 Pro Max became quite popular among the people at the time of its launch. But now many users on social media have complained that their phone has gradually become pinkish in color. Many such photos are going viral on Twitter and Reddit, which has increased the concern among the users.
One report suggested that chemicals such as hydrogen peroxide, which are often found in cosmetic products, cleaning sprays or disinfectants, can discolor or change the color of anodised aluminium.
Therefore, it is believed that the orange color of some iPhone 17 Pro devices is changing to pink due to contact with these products.
Apple told the right way of cleaning
Apple has already warned users on its support website not to clean their devices with any product that contains bleach or hydrogen peroxide.
Instead, the company suggests using 70% isopropyl alcohol wipes or 75% ethyl alcohol wipes. Also, do not allow moisture to enter any port or opening of the phone and never clean the device by immersing it in any liquid.
What did Apple say?
Till now, there has been no official statement from Apple on the problem of this pink discolouration. Experts say that until the company provides any update, users should keep their phone away from strong chemicals, skin care products or household cleaners so that its color and finish does not get spoiled.
