Q: iPhone 6 plus paint peeling, anyone?

Anyone facing similar problem of the paint coating peeling off without any dropping, hits or bumps?

 

I got my set barely passed a month and had used it with a cover to protect the back. To my horror, when I recently remove the phone from the cover for cleaning, I had to see this. (attached photo, bottom left)

 

Went to the authorised service centre, A.Lab, which service sucked. Nothing can be done. I am beginning to wonder if I should switch over to Android devices which cost much lesser than Apple

    Really disappointed in the Apple Inc. That is general situation when anyone were bought ip 6s , 6s plus . If the Apple Inc isn't solution, people will not buy anything from the Apple Inc to make because it's no different than cheap cell phone.

    Having the same issue of color peeling off in my iPhone 6s space grey all around the phone. Apple rejected my claim saying its a cosmetic defect and caused by user. Very pathetic service from the Authorized service center Maple in India. Escalated the matter to apple support and some Kamal Jain called and pretended to help me but in vain. Apple ***** big time for sure where they are charging such high amount and service is pathetic.

    I hope Apple can solved this matter or tell us some advice on how to avoid this Aluminum Oxidizing.. I remembered I cleaned my Iphone 6 (gold) with facial cleanser and Isopropyl Alcohol once and on the next 3 days the small like fiber started to appear at the back near the camera but i wondered why is not happen to my Lenovo S90 with the same aluminum Back of my Ip6. I also cleaned that the same way.. Very Disappointed with Apple

    Same is happening with my iPhone 6s silver. Even though its not very visible on silver color, still its annoying and  these little spots keep on coming. I had my phone in a clear silicone case. Never dropped it or anything. This is just heartbreaking from apple. I bought mine around December 2015 and these spots popped up around may 2016. And now they just keep on popping up.

    Some places they include that CE, some places they dont. It probably depends on state/nation's law. I bought mine in Germany and my iPhone also have it (like you cant take a photo without sound in Japan).

     

    I heard Apple has already fixed this problem secretly. iPhones're produced after march 2016 dont have this problem anymore. Anyone  purchased your iPhone after april please confirm if you have this problem or not

    Hello, I am from the region South Asian region (Sri Lanka/Maldives). I had this problem in an iPhone 6s in April 2016, and I sent it to apple through a friend in US and got a replacement phone. Now I see this problem in every 7/10 iPhones (my friends/family are using iPhones too) are affected with this problem. I had a hard time chatting with an apple support live chat, and twice my phone was returned and 3rd time I got a replacement. I had to prove purchase of proof regardless of the phone was still under warranty.

     

    I have seen this affecting all 3 colors on iPhone 6s & 6s Plus, except for silver color.

     

    If this affecting many more phones I guess it is the fault from manufacturers side and they need to replace the phones without giving a hard time for the customers.

    You noticed the problem in April or you purchased your phone in April? Unfortunately this problem is even worse in tropic region (since problem is relating to water, in fact it was manufacturers' fault since they used the same anodizing tech for the new 7000 series aluminum, please search online about this, my English is not good enough to explain it  in detail =))). Luckily you got a replacement. I have a replacement as well and after a month using it I haven't noticed any problem at all

    sr for my bad English

    Well i got mine in December 2015 and also have this problem but it started after 4-5months. Look like they really fixed this problem for iPhone 6s produced after March 2016
