Gap between frame and front glass

So I’ve had my iPhone 11 for about a month now and I noticed little gaps between the frame and the glass. Dust is getting in there and a peace of paper can fit too. I wanted to ask if that is a problem or just the design of the phone.

Gap Between Glass and Body Frame if iPad Pro Hey guys, I have an iPad Pro 11 inch 2021 model. I recently noticed an approximately 0.4mm-0.5 mm gap between the glass and the aluminium body frame at the edge of the iPad. It is visible on the top edge and the right edge only and is pretty straight (meaning it occurred at the time if manufacturing and not due to later bending because of my handling). Is this gap normal? Some people say that it is a tolerance gap that is provided so that sceens don't crack when they expand due to heat and this gap is quite normal. Other people say that their iPads don't have it therefore it is a defect. I noticed this gap in my iPad only when some dust got stuck into it and it has bugged me ever since. Is this a manufacturing defect or is it normal? Please do respond and search your iPad Pro for this gap if you can... Thanks

iPhone 13 Pro Max defect Hello, I just received my iPhone 13 Pro Max today and it’s seems like there is a gap between the glass screen and the metal body and I can see a bit of the silver internal components. Has this happened to anyone else? Should I return? I am worried about any or moisture or dust getting in there.

My iPhone 13 mini has a gap that collects dust My iPhone 13 mini has a gap between the screen and body that collects dust. The dust can be quite annoying. Is the gap normal? Should I return it and get a new one while I still can? What's the possibility that the new one would have a gap as well? Because I really don't feel like going through the whole new phone setup process again.
