Paint chipping on my IPhone 12 (Blue)

Hi, i purchased my IPhone 12 about 5 months back, i started noticing paint chipping off near my camera lens and it bothered me alot cause its a costly phone and this shouldn't happen. At first it was just a dot now it's worse and i don't know how or who to contact to get this fixed. We pay a hefty huge amount for these phone's and this shouldn't happen! Apple should be ashamed of such low quality paint job.Does anyone else have this problem with their new IPhone?

iPhone 12, iOS 14

This is made on purpose do you keep buying the next model. It’s smart business.

it’s very easy to get a good paint on a phone and cheap too. I have a very cheap flashlight that cost me like 20 dollars and have dropped it several times on concrete due to my job, it’s still spotless. They could use the same paint on phones and would be way cheaper. But then you wouldn’t find a reason to upgrade phones so quickly.

Apple made out this way on purpose. It’s so people keep buying new phones. I know this for a fact. Because my cheap 20 dollars flashlight has been dropped and kicked and abused at work and not a single scratch on the paint.

there really is no excuse for a phone that costs almost 1500 dollars.

Guys. Stop buying painted phones. My iPhone XS. 3 years old is still in mint condition and I never used a case or screen protector.

unfortunately the new iPhone are easier to scratch the screen too. So I’m staying away as long as I can.

I am amazed that people are still buying painted phones. Apple will always be apple and phones are made to scratch so you buy the new model. It’sa smart business. That’s why they keep introducing new colours, all painted. People should know they should buy the white one.
