You have an iPhone 14 Pro and it is still covered under Apple's 1YR Limited Warranty (US). Take advantage of it and have your iPhone examined at the Apple Store or at an Authorized Service Center for further diagnosis and a resolution.

It’s a ridiculous desicion…cosmetics!? It was the reason why I bought this phone -> design and quality! I don’t want to iPhone 14 Pro with cosmetics issues!


They obviously have problem with process or quality of painting and they want to cover it and don’t want to a make precedens. Current Apple quality is worse than before…

I have the same situation and reading the comments I'm pretty sure that will be a lost of time if I open a case with apple. Any positive experience getting a replacement or cosmetic fix from apple anyone? Or any special case you recommend (not the leather from apple since I'm using that one and I have the issue), I also want to know is someone have installed a screen protector of the kind "360 protection" and if this have helped in some way?

Hello everyone, I have the same problem with the space black iPhone 14 Pro Max that was bought new 5 months ago. I started to notice small spots of peeling paint on the frame of the phone, especially in the area of ​​the speaker. The phone has been with a case since day one, has not been dropped or hit in any way. I had it before iPhone X for almost 5 years without any peeling or hitting.

Um I’ve never had to put a separate protective cover on the camera lenses on any iPhone I’ve ever owned, so how is that common sense??


& you clearly didn’t read to comprehend. I never said I was mad at Apple for the self-inflicted damage. I’m mad at the fact that I don’t have any repair/replacement options considering that I have insurance. But carry on.
