Paint chipping on my IPhone 12 (Blue)

Yes, I have the same issue, and it is chipping more and more. And now my phone looks ugly. I really want this phone be be replaced, but apply support is saying that this is cosmatic damage and they cannot replace it.

Same with my iphone 13 been using it for almost 4months and paint on the rear camera is chipping off. Visited a service center and called their hotline but they cant do something with it since its a cosmetic damage an not covered by a warranty.

I'm worried on the upcoming months because it might get worse.

I hope they will have a solution for this. I know that it doesn't affect the performance of the phone in any ways but it bothers me a lot.

I’ve had the exact same problem!! I bought a green iPhone 13 a month ago and the phone paint started chipping and I took it back and they replaced the phone.

now I’m 3 weeks into have the new one and it’s happening again!

so unhappy with the quality of the iPhone I’ve had iPhones all my life and this has never happened! Not to mention the fact that the phone is over 1K!!!

Hi, i purchased my IPhone 13 blue about 8 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?

I have an iPhone 13 that I haven’t had 1 year yet and mine is doing the same thing just around the camera lens. I have kept my phone in a case the ENTIRE time I have had it. The quality of Apple is just degrading which is crazy considering how much we pay for these devices.

If damage is not caused due to physical force by customers it’s represented bad quantity job by apple and this problem seems to be wide spread apple should provide resolution to its customers (same is happening with my phone 2 months old)and this will affect resale value

i was really taking care of my phone because this is the first time i got the latest unit but it starts chipping the paint beside my camera, im too shy to bring it back to the store because they might say its my fault

I want you to take a screenshot of these chats and post it on tweet so that we can all get our phone replaced.

Apple does not warrant against cosmetic issues. They will NOT replace your phone for chipped paint around the camera surrounds. Post all you want, it won't get you anything. If your iPhone is not in a protective case, which protects the camera surrounds, that's on you. Go out to Amazon.com and buy camera surround protection in multiple colors if the cosmetic damage bothers you.

Bro there is a difference in colour removing due to scratch and colour peeling off due to no reason. It is only seen in blue model and peeling off starts initially near camera lens first. So dont comment without knowing anything, its a manufacturing defect and i even went to apple care when i saw them its peeling off from camera they even give me a right reason why its happening and moreover they only telling like a parrot that warranty dont cover cosmic damage so we cant do anything.

what did apple say? I’m having same issue with my phone too and it has started to bother me now

I'm having the same issue! It got even worse when i put lens protector to it. It is chipping off automatically!

same with my iphone 11 red.

another thread's been open since last year too...

1. Hardly noticeable
2. Not a problem; cosmetic wear is expected on any device
