Apple’s iPhone Overhaul Will Reduce Its Reliance on Annual Fall Spectacle
Gurman: Apple will launch the iPhone 18 Pro, 18 Pro Max and Foldable next fall - with the iPhone Air 2 never - at least not in recent months - planned for 2026.
Apple’s iPhone 17 Pro QC is an absolute disaster—honestly, it feels like it barely exists at this point
iPhone 17 Demand Is Breaking Apple's Sales Records [IDC report]
When I buy from apple.com, does my iPhone come ready to use?
Can I return my iPhone?
Will my new iPhone be unlocked?

I’ll keep this short, because at this point I’m completely exhausted.
I bought an iPhone 17 Pro Max from an authorized reseller, and the quality of what I received was honestly shocking. The back glass wasn’t flush at the top with the aluminum frame, visible yellow glue or idk what between the glass and aluminium and rear cameras(yeah, cameras, not just one) had visible particles inside. So I went through the whole return process, wasted 14 days, and bought a replacement—hoping it couldn’t possibly be worse.
Well, here’s what I got straight out of the box:
A noticeable dot scratch that reflects light and becomes even more obvious from certain angles.
Another scratch right on the corner.
Yet another scratch on the back aluminum.
Back glass is flush with aluminium at all corners except one.
An LG display with an annoying green tint that shows up whenever the phone is slightly tilted.
All two units were made in China, bought in the EU , 10/2025 on the box.
I’m honestly stunned. Based on my experience alone, the quality control on these units feels absolutely awful or maybe someone at factory is completely drunk.
Now I cant go through the whole return/repair process as I am extremely tired with the QC, with the f@🥐king lottery and It's now my main phone..
