Tests Indicate Cosmic Orange iPhone 17 Pro Unlikely to Turn Pink From Everyday Cleaners

Overview

• CNET’s Andrew Lanxon repeatedly applied an oxygen-based stain remover and household bleach to a Cosmic Orange iPhone 17 Pro over three months.
• He left the chemicals on the metal sides and camera bar for up to an hour per session before wiping the device clean.
• Across the trials, he reported minimal to no visible color change, with the phone remaining effectively orange.
• The results indicate that accidental contact with residues from common cleaners is unlikely to cause the dramatic pinking seen in isolated online photos.
• Apple continues to warn against products containing bleach or hydrogen peroxide, and the test reflects a single-device assessment.
