iPhone 6S Rose Gold Easily Scratched?

the manager did say the outer is made of light aluminium and therefore is a softer metal!

So much for the manager. From the Apple website:

"iPhone 6s and iPhone 6s Plus take everything that made the previous generation great, and advance it to a new level. They’re made with 7000 Series aluminium, the strongest alloy we’ve ever used in an iPhone. They both feature Retina HD displays made from the strongest cover glass used on any smartphone in the world. And now they’re available in an elegant new rose gold finish."

And from https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aluminium_alloy

"7000 series are alloyed with zinc, and can be precipitation hardened to the highest strengths of any aluminium alloy (tensile strength up to 700 MPa for the 7068 alloy)."

Any ideas on how I can take this further anyone? I'm so upset and feel like these phones are faulty

thanks for your comment tonefox

I'm in Manila so it's pretty impossible to get anything out of Apple here, but I'm crossing my fingers that Apple will finally notice this error and offer swaps for free! My sister has the grey one, brother has the gold one and my brother in law too, none of them have this issue -- seems the rose gold (supposedly, the special one) is the only faulty one. So much for me wanting the best from Apple.

Hi i'm from PR and I'm having the same problem with my 6s rose gold, I'm so disappointed

I am having the same problem with IPhone 6s Rose Gold which is now 2wks old. It has many tiny black marks around the white edges, lightning port and headphone jack. Have you tried complaining it to Apple? This is very disapponting, I never dropped my phone and it has a case.

I'm having the same problem.

My iPhone 6s Plus (Space Gray) has an Apple Leather Case since the 1st day and it's full of little marks all over.

There are even some spots with tint getting out.

Wow, so many of you have this problem. It happened to me as well. Wonder what will Apple do to this. Just felt dissapointed to Apple. They made an expensive smartphone but have such built quality. Let's don't talk about the phone case because 6s plus has the same size as 6 plus. Since the iPhone 6 plus with the same case doesn't have such issue and has the much lower graded aluminium equipped, the much pricy and more advanced iPhone 6s plus should probably don't have face the issue. Is it the matter of built quality? I really need Apple to give a satisfying response.

same and i hate the scratches

Hi , i'm using an iphone 6s Rose Gold and i to had this problem even though we use several casing or not the color starches
The Best solution i used to overcome this problem is that i used a thin sticker which cover the side and the back face of the iphone which looks fine now
