iphone 11 paint chipping

yup you should have heard about the iPhone 7 paint chipping and I can DEFINITELY say it’s a very big issue. It happen on my fiends iPhone 7 and now my NEW iphone 11 . I feel very disappointed I handled it with utmost care. paint chipping started with the anodised aluminium near the camera lens then it increased and increased and even spread to other parts of my iPhone such as the charging port and also the SIM card tray and many spots on the side. It’s very disappointing as I had a case on it all the time and it has only been 4 months since I bought it . I have even went to a authorised repair centre and they said it’s cosmetic issue but it’s still a issue which I am very sure not caused by me and it was problem caused by Apple so I am very disappointed a expensive phone from a well know company sells phones with this issue and says is cosmetic and caused by wear and tear by the user but it I am 100 percent sure it was not caused by me. The white spots keep on increasing, but for apple it’s only a cosmetic issue. But for me its a big issue I keep my phone very safe as I worked very hard for it as I used all my savings on it

is there any way I can fix this issue and if you also have this issue plz share this thanks:)

iPhone 11, iOS 13

It seems the camera ring is not anodized...its just painted....it hurts....mine too has started showing a small white spot on the camera ring and it irritates me every time i look at it...its just a month and i am taking care of my phone like a baby...case and screenguard from the moment i bought it...i even dont keep it on rough surfaces...once when the phone was in my jeans pocket....i took out and saw a white spot out of nowhere...quality control at Apple seems compromised...my feeling of a brand new phone just diminished in a second

I have the same issue on my iphone 11 which I bought recently in July 2020. I was using it very carefully with a protective cover from the very first day. Then I noticed chipping after like 3 weeks of use but I can confirm it didn't even drop or scratch but just started chipping. This is very disappointing because it costed me $900 to buy this phone from Sri Lanka. Yup, that's the usual retail price here. Apple MUST address this issue!!!

I am facing a similar issue with my iphone se 2020 product red. Its 3 months old and has been in spigen case from day one. Recently I noticed that the red color is chipping around the camera ring. Its really disappointing as I really take good care of my phone.

Although it doesnot effect the functionality but whenever i look at it, i kind of feel bad for it.

Hey Joymerwin

I know this post was posted along time ago and idk if you will see this but I should have responded to this along time ago too. I also have the same problem it’s only on the camera, it happened along time ago to I was just wondering if you found something or you bought another phone.

I thought I was alone! My iPhone11 is just two months and there were scratches all over the camera ring lens! It makes me really upset every time I look at it. I have been very careful with my phone and it has a case too. I tried buying a camera lens protector but it destroys the quality of the photo so I took it anyway. I don’t understand and don’t know what to do to prevent the scratches anymore.
