Within days of Apple releasing the iPhone 17 series, the infamous ‘Scratchgate’ controversy emerged – new iPhone 17 demo units were found to be getting easily scratched at the Apple Stores. While the initial doubts were pinned on the poor build quality and inferior paint job of the iPhones, Apple was quick to address the concerns – it wasn’t the poor paint job but the MagSafe chargers at the Apple Stores that did the damage.

Now, Apple wants to quickly address this before it escalates further.

The company is adding a small silicone ring to the MagSafe display chargers used in its retail locations to prevent the devices from being scuffed.
