Customer Fined for Accidentally Dropping an iPhone 17 Pro in Store

In China, a customer was forced to pay a fine after accidentally causing a small dent on a display iPhone 17 Pro smartphone in a store.

According to reports, the person was trying to place the phone back on its stand but accidentally dropped it onto the table. The iPhone 17 Pro, which fell from a height of about 5 centimeters, ended up with a small dent on its body. For this minor incident, the customer was fined 200 yuan (around 28 USD).

It's worth noting that the iPhone 17 Pro and Pro Max models have replaced the previously used titanium with a fully aluminum body. This new material is more prone to scratches and dents, which is why early users are complaining about defects appearing when the phone is used without a case.
