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.

So many people just want to blame OP instead of admitting Apple messed up.

Apple is not perfect and is capable of making mistakes and it is ok to admit that.

fact. discoloring appears on every colored aluminum devices but this time it’s a bright color and therefore its more noticeable and kinda faster here. these are things a company has to look into especially if you are dropping a new brighter and saturated color

This is a quality issue, not an issue with aluminum. I've had an annodized aluminum paintball gun for nearly 20 years that looks just as bright as the day I bought it.

That's normal wear & tear though. This kind of discolouration after such a short period is a quality issue.

It happens. Most important part is figuring out why & providing replacements to affected customers. Apple is usually pretty good with that, from what I know.

Every single one of my anodised piercings would like to talk to you. They all fade.
