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

I am really ******, after paying this much amount for a mobile I didn’t expect it to overheat whilst just browsing safari and the paint to just chip off after only 2 months. Really disappointed and sad after paying such a price.

The battery percentage also went from 100 to 96 in just 4 months. And now you would say, you must have done something yourself. Prior to iPhone 12 I had and android device which just cost 19k rupees and after using it for 4 years, the paint on is intact, the battery is also fine. Really disappointed.

i always thought that I’d accidentally scratched it somewhere, but I wear phone case all the time. Never did I remember ever scratch it tho. It’s literally chipping off. At this point, I cant use my iphone anymore without casing because the paint is so so ugly. Even my 7+ years samsung never had this problem. I’m so disappointed with apple. 😤

After 5 months usage of my Iphone12 showing the same paint issue on the camera lens ring. Now it is getting worse day by day. It is very painful after spending a significant amount of money for this phone and not getting the paint quality with that money. We are all love to maintain our phone like a brand new and without any fault from our side it is now looks like an old phone.

I bought iPhone 13 6months back . Initially I saw a small dot like white colour on my iphone 13’s camera ring I thought it was some sort of dust . But I wasn’t, the paint was chipping off then after few weeks the more amount of paint were chipping automatically . Why is it like this ? Why apple is not giving a response to it? I am disappointed at this. Paying a huge amount for this kinda flagship phones and if this is the condition how can we trust these brands. And I wonder why apple uses cheap quality materials.
