Apple’s latest iPhone has been on sale for barely four days, but already people are encountering problems. Many users are complaining that the iPhone 17 Pro models are scratching and scuffing too easily – resulting in some unsightly marks. And they’re seriously unimpressed that a high-end product starting from £1,099/$1,099 isn’t a little more robust. On X (formerly Twitter), one user in Hong Kong shared photos of his iPhone 17 Pro in the new ‘Cosmic Orange’ colour. The brightly coloured exterior, which is made from aluminium, has a white mark where a little chunk of the frame has been chipped off. Daily Mail

A total of 77 projects designed to capture excess renewable power for later use, including lithium-ion, flow and sugar-based “super batteries”, as well as pumped-hydro electricity storage, will be considered for inclusion in a bill-payer-backed funding scheme intended to promote innovation and spread risk.
