Does painting your iPhone void warranty?

Question

Does painting your iPhone void warranty?

I am going to use a paintbrush to paint one of my iPhones, especially the iPhone 7 to change the colour instantly. I will also use sharpie because I really hated the black colour on my iPhone 7 Plus (my previous phone as now I am on the iPhone 8) to something like blue. So, here is my current phone, and I don't want a black phone or a white one since it is plain. So, would it void warranty if I use a spray paint or anything to paint an iPhone?

iPhone 8 Plus, iOS 11.0.2, Black, 256GB

That makes no sense which, means, in this context, it’s the most correct answer possible. 🙂

Do you understand that no one here cares what you own? That every time you start bragging about how much you own, it just makes people think less of you?

If you want to be taken seriously, to be treated like an adult, you need to act like one, not try to “prove” things by talking about what you own or how much money you have.

Yes, it will void the warranty. Try getting a case of the desired color, or a skin, such as:

This is a joke, right? Of course if you do anything to modify an iPhone, which includes painting it, it will absolutely void your warranty. Surely, you had to know this?
