iPhone 11 scratches on the back glass

Hi Everyone. I just wanna ask this because it’s been bugging me. I was cleaning my iPhone 11’s back when I noticed that there’s a lot of what appears to be scratches that shines under a flashlight on its back. I am not sure if they are really scratches or just light reflections because they aren’t visible under sunlight or any other normal lighting. The glass looks perfect on any normal light condition. My iPhone is just a week old and has a case eversince i got it so I’m not sure why there could be scratches on its back? They look like a shiny string of lights that only shows on a certain angle. Can anyone of you check if your 11 has it too?

iPhone 11, iOS 16
