Store model anodization on the 17 Pro isn’t holding up well. Going bare aluminum might be the way to go.

Yes, I’ve heard that for the darker colors… not great

The black Ti Air is shockingly beautiful. I was really surprised how much I’m drawn to it now.

Need the cameras though. Otherwise I likely would have gone that way.

Another thing to be aware of with the “Deep Blue” is that photos of it, including mine, make it look grey/black. IRL to my eye under the Apple Store lights it has much more color to it, and looks almost violet.

I’ve adjusted this photo in an attempt to reproduce what my eye saw.
