Apple will sell a case for just 12,000 pesos to prevent the iPhone 17 from being scratched by the wind.

Apple will release an affordable case to prevent its new iPhone 17 from getting scratched by the wind or even by dirty looks.

The case, made with "space materials that even NASA doesn't know about," will cost a symbolic 12,000 Mexican pesos, a price that, according to Apple, "is practically a steal because it includes the box."

“We know users are complaining that the iPhone 17 scratches just by blowing on it, so we decided to solve it: we released this advanced case that even protects the dignity of the person who buys it, ” revealed Tim Cook, avoiding the “free fall” test of the device.

On the other hand, the company announced that in the next iOS update, iPhones will automatically detect if the wind is too strong, and recommend the user purchase a more durable, scratch-proof case with cotton.

Every new iPhone comes with its own "scratchgate." Now, the 17 Pro's scratchgate. As always, there are two sides: those who exaggerate the problem and those who dismiss it with "it doesn't happen to me." My point: there's usually a real problem that deserves to be considered in its proper context. Here too. pic.twitter.com/IuCk9PIdcr

As soon as the announcement was made, it was reported that early buyers were already lining up outside stores, claiming that "for 12,000 pesos, it's well worth protecting your cell phone."

Despite the "good news," it has been revealed that some people are already reselling the cases on Mercado Libre for up to 25,000 pesos, clarifying that the product would be delivered one to two weeks after purchase.

To keep laughing: a guy bought a 70" screen at Wal-Mart, and when he left, the employees took it away from him because "it was a mistake."
