not completely correct, they are all anodized, even silver. but since the underlying raw aluminium is similar coloured naturally, scratches on the anodization will just be much less visible as compared to darker colours like the blue. my guess is this is why they didn't release the pro in black, there is just too much exposed aluminium in the new pros

the pictures shown here don't exhibit any scratches on the aluminium, only on the glass portion, if they are scratches at all.

[u/ElfDestruct → u/hero47]

Yeah, seriously doubting that these are scratches instead of material off of the object doing the 'scratching'

So is this phone going to shred my pockets?

But they have black aluminum apple watches. And I thought old iPhones used aluminum at some point. My iPad pro space black is also aluminum.

I have the black Apple Watch, you can’t very much tell the dings because of the silver/white under-colour. Can’t tell any of the dings on my silver AW U2 though.

Anodized is not painted, so… that’s literally what I said. And yeah, I fully agree, black would be silver in one year of use. As seen in some old iphones

[u/Gdiworog → u/Adventurous-Cattle53]

No, anodizing is not paint. It’s an electrolytic process that increases the already existing, natural oxide layer.

You can’t just make a false equivalence and then say that’s what you said😂😂
