iphone 11 paint chipping

You’d expect a $1,100AUD for me to at least to have no cosmetic issues. My iPhone 11 Product red model has the same issue... It’s unacceptable that Apple charge such high prices for iPhones that should have no “cosmetic issues”. That’s an excuse, and they know it. I generally enjoy Apple products, but it’s still unacceptable for many of their consumers that bought iPhones. And it’s not just 1 iPhone. Issues with the iPhone 7, 11, probably the 12 and god knows how many there might be.

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.

Hi,

I an also facing Similar issue. And it looks like manufacturing defect. Responsibility should be taken by Apple and resolution should be given. 6 months after purchasing the phone I started facing the issue, surprising! &

Dear Rahul, mine got chipped right 2 months later after purchasing a brand new ip12 red! Please apple.. my husband's phone, ip12 Promax blue, still flawless, we bought at the same day. I do believe that red products have to be cared specially by Apple.

It’s called patina. Anything that you handle every day, put down on a table 20 times a day or put in a pocket 20 times a day will get marked. Is why I always choose anodised black and the Apple leather case. Choose a glass screen protector and always place face down.

It's not a patina. Patinas form on bare metals, not painted surfaces... It's obviously a defect. I'm noticing a pattern though - it only seems to happen on aluminum parts and the only colors affects seem to be blue, red, and black. I have an iPhone 12 Pro and I'm not having the issue. I've had my phone for about 9 months. It's graphite in color. What I'm wondering is this: Are the rings on the 12 Pro stainless steel or aluminum? If they're stainless, that would lend some weight to the idea that it's only happening on painted aluminum. I don't understand why there are so many people insinuating that folks have caused the damage to their phones. It seems very clear to me after having read completely through 2 different posts on the matter that these phones are generally very well taken care of. I seriously doubt this problem has anything at all to do with the mishandling of the phones.

I totally agree with you.I have checked almost all the articles and it doesn't mention anywhere whether the camera ring on the 12 pro is aluminium or stainless steel.I had to sell my iphone 12 in black as the paint peeling began to get real worse and it was super noticeable.Never getting an aluminium iphone again.All the pro variants maintain their finishes even after years of use so now I feel that they are worth it.

I had never heard of this issue until today tbh. I feel lucky to have purchased the Pro model. Chipped paint would drive me crazy!! Apple should absolutely be doing something to make things right with their customers.

this is exactly what happened to me today :( i tried to take off my case and i heard luke a litle scratch and i saw on my camera there was a bit o fi paint chipped off and i tried cleaning it and didnt work :( now my phone looks weird even tho its just a small dot

I’m also have this problem in my iPhone 11 red color. I bought that just before 5 months. It was going automatically paitn removing at camera lens metal. Im very disappointed. I’m using my phone safely when bought that, in a safe case. **** production this is. Shitttttt

I have the same problem, except mine is only around the camera lens, but worse. Even though I have a cover, it still chips. Is there any wait to repair this?

Me as well my Iphone is just 4 months Old SO DISAPPOINTED!!!!
