Turning A Cosmic Orange iPhone 17 Pro… Pink?
Don’t try this at home! ‼️💥 When CNET editor at large Andrew Lanxon heard some Cosmic Orange iPhones might be turning pink due to cleaning substances, he had to give it a try himself. After trying bleach and an oxy-active stain remover, his results were sadly unimpressive. Read about Andrew’s full experience:

Yes, with some butter on top. When it melts, the phone turns pink

I’m blind, so piercing noises are very annoying to me. This might work for others, but I’m not a fan.

So, how did you leave a comment?
Oh sorry, I didn’t care about that you are blind 😅

@Ner6y_Le9Vo Yeah, I get this question a lot, lol. But I don’t mind telling people, over and over again, that I use screen reader software. Specifically: Apple BoiceOver. I think it’s important to be a “willing ambassador” when addressing questions from people who genuinely don’t understand.

I NEED the Starburst iPhone. This thing looks terrible out of the box (me and the other shoppers at Best Buy all said the same thing!), but this? This looks great.

Normally I try not to say anything negative about presentation style, but constructively I have to say I’m not a huge fan of CNET trying to lean into (what someone thinks is) Tiktok-style content.
Short form is fine, but the annoying sounds/music thing feels like a try-hard move from an aging tech brand. Expertise has universal appeal, so I would focus on shoring up that, not trying to meme the place up.

Don’t need to follow TikTok trends to make good content

Stop, don’t clean it with bleach and hydrogen peroxide, it might lose colors, instead you should use alcohol then wipe it then clean your fingers then avoid using it in sunny days
