My stainless steel band oxidizing after a few months use

After using my brand new iPhone 11 Pro for about 6 months, and taking very good care of it with no scratches or any damage at all, I noticed having a blue dot on my stainless steel band next to the charging port. My question is : is this normal for a high end quality phone ? Why ? How can it be fixed ?

Thank you.

iPhone 11 Pro, iOS 13

New iPhone 14 - “Yellow Dirt” in charging port I bought my new iPhone 14 last Saturday. On Sunday, I discovered “Yellow dirt” in my phone charging port. I tried cautiously using a toothpick to remove it but it won’t go away (looks dry and hard to remove). The charging port works perfectly fine. Should I be worried about this? Anyone knows what it is? (This “dirt” messes with my OCD). I didn’t put the phone in dirty pockets or places so the “dirt” must been there since the phone was still packaged in its box. Any help would be appreciated. Many thanks!

my charging wire is gettting a brown burned spot near where I plug it into my iPhone 11 The Apple 6' charging wire I use to charge my iPhone 11 overnight has developed a split in the wire's outside casing, revealing what looks like a brown burn spot on the exposed inside wires. Have others had this problem? What is its cause?

Charger Electric leakage I just bought an iphone 7 yesterday , it was pretty good until i plugged in the charger . Whenever the home button and the camera module is touched I feel a tingling sensation in my fingertips . Also the 2 pin 5W charger makes noise when the switch is turned on . So is there any issue or it’s normal ?

Hi eliaskhoury__,

This looks to me like burnt mark (burnt from external heat source)

Therefore I don’t put my phone near any heat source. It mostly stays in my bedroom, and I usually keep it away from the kitchen.
