iPhone 7 Jet Black Variant Can Get Easily Scratched: Apple's Surprising Warning

Apple has warned users that the all new Jet Black variant of the iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus may easily get scratched while use. The company on its official specifications listing of the iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus has clearly pointed out the possibility. "The high-gloss finish of the Jet Black iPhone 7 is achieved through a precision nine-step anodisation and polishing process. Its surface is equally as hard as other anodised Apple products; however, its high shine may show fine micro-abrasions with use."
