Noticing your iPhone 17 Pro fading around the edges? You’re not alone. This quick guide breaks down what’s causing the color to change, how to prevent further damage, and the simplest way to keep your phone looking new.
Why Does The iPhone 17 Pro Fade?
The iPhone 17 Pro features an anodized aluminum unibody, chosen for its lightweight build and excellent heat dissipation. However, aluminum comes with one drawback: its surface coating can wear down over time.
Fading is usually caused by:
- Direct contact with skin oils and sweat
- Constant friction from your hands or pockets
- UV exposure from sunlight
- Rough surfaces scratching the anodized layer
These factors are especially aggressive around the edges and corners—the parts of your phone most exposed to touch and movement.
The Best Solution? Use A Case That Actually Protects The Frame
The easiest and most effective way to stop fading is simple: use a phone case that protects the aluminum frame from exposure. Not just any case—a well-designed, precision-fit case that blocks the very sources of wear.

What If Your Phone Is Already Fading?
If fading has already started, there are still steps you can take:
- Use a protective case immediately to stop it from getting worse
- Clean the edges gently using a microfiber cloth (never alcohol or abrasive cleaners)
- Document the condition in case you decide to resell or file a support ticket
Although cosmetic wear is usually not covered under Apple’s warranty, extreme or early-stage fading might be worth reporting—especially if others are experiencing it too.
Final Thoughts: Don’t Wait For Damage To Show
The iPhone 17 Pro is a premium device—and it deserves premium protection. The fading issue may be subtle at first, but it can quickly compromise the look and resale value of your phone.
