I purchased a 13 inch MacBook with the touch bar in August 2018. I have only used it at home for a few hours each week but am already noticing the space grey wearing off around the outside edge. The inside is completely fine. My hands are about as dry as can be and I always wash my hands before use.
I’m slightly confused with what the cause might be. What would you recommend I do to prevent further discolouration of the outside?
Hmmm. You have a one year warranty— you will have to take it in and see what the official word is on the issue.
Go from there.
In or out of warranty you can get a free over the counter 'Apple Service Diagnostics' test /assessment
Make an appointment for a "hardware issue"—
