FYI always used it with a pouch and never handled rough
Omg!! mee too. Just started to see the paint peel off on the bottom area of the phone speaker.
i didnt notice any peel off until today. i did remove it from the case last week but didnt notice any peel off.
Not sure if apple gonna replace it or not. 😢
Seems like it's a global issue on iphone jet black and matt black. i guess worse on matt black.
i didnt experience this when i was using iphone 5s before.
Will try to go nearest apple store to check for warranty.
Had the same issue, jet black. Paint starts to peel off and growing. Contacted Apple Support and arranged with local Premium Reseller.
Seems, every other thread shows that Apple isn't gonna cover it due to "Cosmetics"
Let's see how this goes tomorrow. Very surprised tho with other responses read through the internet.
Hi
As you are concerned about a potential manufacturing defect, contact Apple Support (mail-in service may be available, if required), make a Genius Bar reservation or visit an Apple Authorised Service Provider with a view to having your iPhone checked and, if recommended, serviced / replaced under warranty:
Same issues occured to me and this is already the 2nd time I'm facing paint peel for my Iphone 7 Jet Black.
1st time they are doing an exception replacement unit for me which I greatly appreciated.
Now the replaced unit is also facing the same issue and best thing is that it happens within 1 month after the replacement was done.
(Note: no physical damaged was done to my phone)
Contacted Apple again but they just turn down your request of an exchange since it is their quality assurance and defect. Utterly disappointed with Apple!!
