Corrosion in charging port

My iPhone 15pro is 10 weeks old and stopped charging suddenly. Took it to the iPhone store where they diagnosed corrosion on the pins in the charging port. It has never been exposed to water or moisture. Has anyone ever heard of this? I’m also wondering how long from the time of exposure of the charging port to moisture would it take for the corrosion to happen. I am 100% certain the phone was not exposed in the 10 weeks I’ve owned it so I’m wondering if it could be a factory defect or possibly exposed at the point of purchase location.

I have returned 2 iphone15 for this reason to my provider and they are now saying both phones have gotten wet. I can assure I didn’t get it wet. They are now charging me! Took to Apple and had green corrosion in it. How long for green corrosion to form. I had only had it 2 weeks! Needless to say I am not happy.
