    Don’t get distracted by ‘scratchgate’ – the iPhone 17 Pro is still an excellent phone


    Please, for the love of all that’s holy, stop saying ‘scratchgate. It makes it sound like the scratches and blemishes appearing around the unchamfered edge of the iPhone 17 Pro and iPhone 17 Pro Max plateaus are some sort of cover-up, and it diminishes all ‘gates’ that come before it.

    50 years ago, the US had ‘Watergate’, an actual political cover-up that toppled a US Presidency. Since then, we’ve had ‘Bridgegate’ (Jersey), Deflategate (football), and ‘Gamergate’ (gaming, duh). Apple has somehow collected a trio of gates itself, starting with ‘Antennagate‘, which was about how holding the iPhone “the wrong way” would cut down cellular transmission, and ‘Bendgate‘, which was about the iPhone 6 Plus‘ propensity to bend and even break if you sat on it.
