Apple surprised fans by introducing the iPhone 17 Pro Max in a brand-new Cosmic Orange colorway. As it was an immensely popular model since its launch because of its distinctive finish, the shipping dates slipped again and again. However, a user’s Reddit post about their iPhone 17 Pro Max Cosmic Orange unit turning a pink or Rose Gold hue has raised concerns among buyers.

Some iPhone 17 Pro Max Cosmic Orange units are changing colors

As you can see in the photos shared by a user on Reddit, their Cosmic Orange iPhone 17 Pro Max has turned pink or changed to some sort of Rose Gold. The color change seems most prominent around the aluminum frame and camera housing, where the orange finish seems to fade unevenly over time. Users have only observed this issue in the Cosmic Orange variant, where the iPhone 17 Pro Max has begun to display hues of pink.

At the moment, it’s not clear what exactly is causing the color change. However, some X users suggest that oxidation of the aluminum frame could be the cause. Imperfect protective sealing layers, designed to prevent contact between the metal and air, may cause discoloration. In some cases, a compromised coating or exposure to certain elements might accelerate the reaction.

What to Do If Your iPhone Is Changing Colors?

If your Cosmic (or any other color) Orange iPhone 17 Pro Max is showing signs of discoloration, the first thing to do is to carefully inspect it under neutral lighting to confirm the color change. Experts advise avoiding alcohol-based cleaners, abrasive cloths, or harsh chemicals, as these may worsen the issue.

You should also take clear photographs to document the problem, especially if the discoloration appears uneven or metallic in nature. Then, visit an Apple Store or reach out to Apple Support to report the problem. In some past cases of color fading, the company has replaced affected devices. So, you might also qualify for a replacement unit.

Some users may find the changing color interesting, but most simply want the finish they originally paid for. Apple has not released an official statement yet, though the company is likely monitoring the issue closely. We are keeping an eye out and will let you know more on the matter as soon as we hear anything, so stay tuned for regular updates.
