iPhone 17 Pro teardown: anodized aluminum flakes at camera edges Recent teardowns (notably iFixit) show the iPhone 17 Pro’s case is made from heat‑treated, anodized aluminum. The anodization produces a thin colored oxide layer that resists light scratches on flat surfaces but can flake or ‘spall’ at sharp edges — especially around the camera plateau — exposing bare aluminum beneath. Teardown photos and microscopy point to poor adhesion at these sharp edges and the thinness of the anodic layer as the main causes. Key findings Material: heat‑treated aluminum with anodized color layer. Problem: the anodized layer can chip/flake at the sharp camera‑plateau edges, producing visible blemishes. Why: edge geometry and thin oxide layer cause poor adhesion and localized “spalling.” Other teardown notes: the 17 Pro teardown also highlights changes to…
