Apple iPhone 17 cracks after minor impacts, users complain

Apple’s iPhone 17 series has sparked a durability debate after adopting aluminum frames to cut weight, replacing titanium used on previous Pro models. Experts and users say aluminum is less durable and more likely to be damaged by drops or impacts. Some users reported dents in the lower frame and cracks at corners after collisions. Critics say the change makes the premium phone harder to use without a case despite other upgrades.
