Stain/discoloration on the back of iPhone 7 plus

I bought this iPhone a month ago and I immediately put it in a case. I took the phone out yesterday and I noticed the back is stained around the camera and above the Apple logo. The color looks brighter on those areas and it's really bugging me. I tried cleaning it with a cloth and water but that didn't do anything. Is there any way to fix this? Thanks.

Hi


Apple's instructions for cleaning your iPhone are available here:



If you are concerned about a potential manufacturing defect, I suggest that you contact Apple Support (mail-in service may be available), make a Genius Bar reservation or visit an Apple Authorised Service Provider with a view to having your iPhone checked under warranty:

I have a rose gold and its happening to me to. I contacted Apple Support online, they are wanting photos to see if it is going to be covered through apple Warranty. I bought my phone in February, they first said it was due to normal wear but its absurd, how is it normal wear if I have not had the phone for even a year yet? Can you please tell me how you resolved your issue if you ever did?
