iphone 12 paint chipping off

I bought a blue color iphone 12 just 5 months back and the paint near camera ring started going away. It chipping off day be day and becoming silver now.

Really upset about this kind of material provided by apple.

We are paying huge amount for these premium phones and this kind of cheap quality paint and material ??

Really really disappointed about this. Not sure what to do now.

Apple doesn't warrant against cosmetic damage. Paint doesn't chip unless something touch comes in contact with it. Perhaps you keep your phone in a purse or bad with metal objects, such as keys?


Since Apple won't replace your phone, if the slight chips bother you, go out to Amazon.com and buy camera surrounds which provide added protection.


Ps: iPhone 12 (not pro models) are painted aluminum. The finish is about as durable as any paint over aluminum can be. If you want a more durably finished phone in the future, the pro models are Stainless Steel with a much more durable PVD process creating the color. Spend more to get more.......
