I’ve had my iPhone 14 pro space black for about a month and a half now and it’s been in a case since day two as I had to wait for a case to arrive other than that it’s been in different cases and the other day I noticed a bit of the paint on the back of the phone has come off like what on earth? Glad to know I’m not the only one with this issue

Hello! I reached out to Apple about this issue and they let me know that it would not be covered as it is cosmetic damage, however, they also supplied me with the lovely book about what is covered. What they are failing to acknowledge is that this being so common is an indication of poor workmanship. As they mentioned, it is not covered “unless failure has occurred due to a defect in material or workmanship”. This is exactly that. The product is clearly very poorly made.

Apple is not going to cover any type of warranty when it comes to paint because that is a cosmetic issue . unfortunately I’m having the same problem with my iPhone 14 Pro Max the paint is starting to peel in certain areas and I had it less than six months and in the case since day one if you think about it the iPhone 15 is also having problems with discoloration as well, if you’re gonna spend this much on the phone, you would think that the phone would stand up to the tester time. Obviously it does not. I was an android user for a long time just recently went over the iPhone. I’m starting to think about going back to android .

At this point even though I have a little bit of paint coming off my iPhone 14 Pro Max, I’m going to keep it only because I spoke with somebody at T-Mobile concerning the iPhone 15 and all the problems it is having I just assume wait until next year, maybe Apple will figure it out with the iPhone 16. As far as I’m concerned at this point, if there’s a little bit of paint coming off the phone that is fine the point of the phone is to have it worked properly and Apple’s not gonna do anything concerning cosmetics on the phone that’s not really covered under any type of warranty, so for all those people that are having an issue with the iPhone 14 Pro Max in a little bit of pain coming off be patient wait till next year maybe they will figure it out because I knew the iPhone 15 had an issue with discoloration on the titanium, but I had no idea it had an issue with overheating and that’s something my carrier told me about Hang in there everybody I’m sure they’ll have it figured out by next year
