User level: Level 1 (5 points)How can I safely clean the Camera Control on my iPhone 17 Pro?
Hi everyone!
I've noticed some dust and dirt accumulating around the edges of the Camera Control on my iPhone 17 Pro.
I'm wondering what the safest way to clean this area is without damaging the button or the surrounding finish.
Has anyone dealt with this? What cleaning method would you recommend?
I'd really appreciate any advice. Thanks!

Use a dry or VERY lightly dampened microfibre cleaning cloth. If you have access to a dust brush someone might use to dust the crevices in their car or even apply makeup, that will help dislodge any debris in the button. If I were you, I'd look at buying an iPhone case with a built-in Camera Capture Button to keep the button on your phone fully protected and clean. Every case I own has a Camera Capture Button built into them. Apple cases include them. Cases from Torras and ESR do as well as many others. You can look on Amazon for "iphone 17 pro with camera capture button" and find lot's of options.
