If you're one of those people who clean their iPhone 17 Pro or Pro Max with wipes, you might be unknowingly damaging one of its biggest draws: the new Cosmic Orange finish. One user discovered that wiping it with alcohol or peroxide simply washed the color away, leaving the aluminum exposed.
While oxidation issues on some iPhone 17 Pro Max units had been a concern, no one expected the paint to disappear completely. The incident went viral when an owner shared images of their device partially stripped of paint after using a simple cleaning wipe.
