Evidence behind the report

Why are people already returning the iPhone 17? From scratchgate to antennagate 2.0, early buyers are frustrated with durability, overheating, dropped calls, and buggy cameras. Apple says fixes are coming, but for a $1000+ phone, small problems feel like big letdowns. Would you keep it or send it back? #iPhone17 #Apple #TechTok
