“Patina” usually refers to desirable wear that makes an item, generally, perceived to be more beautiful.
I’m not here to knock Apple. I’m literally waiting for my Plus pre-order to arrive, but at what point is the word “patina” being used to describe and pass off easily marred product as something more than it is?
Let's be honest here - drag a fingernail on leather and it's going to do the same, and it's not guaranteed that it'll "patina" away.
I'm still on an 11 so I've no horse in this race, but I do think the Verge jumped the gun for clicks on this. If they held the article a few months to see how it really holds up, then I'd consider it a valid criticism, but it seems they tried to build a wildfire on an edge-case...
(This /c is really starting to feel like the old subreddit apple-haters of old. sigh.)
