Hello. I have an iPhone 13 pro and I noticed a minor problem.
The gap between the display and the steel frame is slightly larger on the left side than on the right.
Is it a problem? should I be worried about that?
Thank you
I have booked a slot at my local store, I will come back and tell you what they say. What I can promise you, is that you haven’t been lucky, you just haven’t noticed. Simply by searching about this gap, you’ll find swathes of news articles about it. It’s a common thing, some people will notice, some won’t. I can only see the gap when in certain lighting conditions at certain angles, that may explain why you haven’t ever noticed it.
ok I just measured my joins:-
iPhone 12 0.063mm at the widest.
iPhone 7 0.038mm my smslkest gauge fits in on3 sides.
iPhone 6 the 0.038 feeler gauge will only go in at one end, and that screen has been removed and refitted by Apple.
That is a decimal point smaller than your observations
You also don’t know anything about my background. You are arguing with a stranger online about a phone. I made an observation, and have told you what Apple Store employees have told me but you are so certain you’re correct that you’ll argue forever so I’m going to stop it here. I don’t care, it’s a phone. It’s a product, it’s not mana from heaven
Yeah I have the same thing. I’ve been to the Apple Store and a genius told me it’s a product of its design, they have a lot of people come in about it but the only solution they have is to re-sit the screen. Replacements aren’t an option as it’s a lottery. They did assure me however that it won’t affect water or dust resistance
I have been to the apple store 4 times since buying my phone the first of the month. I purchased the glass screen cover and had it installed at the store, the same thing happened on the upper left of the screen, but this time it’s bubbling at the top. This seems to be a defect since I’ve been to the ATT store for the same problem twice this week. And I can’t find the receipt so they won’t replace it. The phone isn’t even a month old.
I have the same issue. I had to use a thin plastic to remove some dirt in the gap, and noticed that the thin plastic went through the gap😅. I was shocked and got worried because apple says that iphone 13 pro max is waterproof. But it’s a relief that it’s not only me who has this issue.
I’m done, had it replaced a 3rd time after a month and after 2 days, it’s worst than ever. Keep in mind it was the “experts” at the Apple store that replaced it and swore they had never seen nor heard of this happening. Yeah right…. I have better things to do than visit the apple store weekly.
**Found this explanation on Youtube**
If there had been no space there, the glass would've hit
the stainless corners and get crushed by them when
the phone got hot. This is something that atoms do,
the space between them increases when they are
heated, making the matter have more volume than in a
colder environment. A paper is approximately 0.01mm
thick, so 1/10th of a millimeter. That gap is there to
prevent the phone's glass from breaking suddenly
when you're in the beach :D There is also a sticky
frame seal around the iPhone to keep it waterproof.
With the pressure the top panel makes, you cannot
break that seal from outside just with a piece of paper.
Please stop inventing gates by yourself, also the green
tint issue will probably be solved via software update
and if it's a hardware issue, Apple would gladly replace
them. I have seen this screen flickering "issue". It's the
nature of OLDs' brightness control mechanism
(called PWM), and cannot be seen by the human eye. It
used to flicker more and create eye soreness for
1/10th of users, but they've seemed to fix it mostly
since iPhone 11s.
Hope this helps. 🙂

Try to insert a thin paper. My iphone 13 seems have a gap above the lightning port. I tried to swipe using a money bill. And it pass through. Is it normal? Wish I can replace my phone but already bought a month ago. I just notice when I saw a lint stuck on it.
Same I thought it was broken. I can see this under direct sunlight…
I think we agree on the 14 days.
All I can conclude is I have been "incredibly lucky" on all my iphones.
Pax.
please don't patronise me, you have no idea about my background.
I didn't day no gap, but the join (as we engineers call it) is far far less than 0.5 mm on all my phones.
Provided you accept facts snd measurement beat heresay and anecdote then we are done. I offered pax some posts ago..
Dominik, I have the same problem with my iPhone 13 pro, what did you do?
