I just hope that those scuffs on the edge of the stainless steel frame isn’t due to some rogue individual opening up random devices somewhere along the line. The area is where the screen is opened from. Like I said this is the second time I’ve personally come across this type of defect.
I don’t disagree, but I am probably in the majority of consumers. Your security tabs look fine, by the way. Exactly how mine came off, and exactly how every unboxing I have seen happens.
What do you mean the box was already opened? No 13s were shipped with plastic around the box or plastic film on the screen.
If anyone is paying 1000$ for a phone and you get something like that just get a replacement if you payed for a car and the windscreen was chipped you wouldn't accept it
Yes, I remember your Gold one last year, the entire bottom was fcked up out of the box.
The UPS box had the tape torn and then more tape added to seal it back up. The iPhone box itself now has two pull tabs on the back to seal the phone and one of those tabs was already missing. The phone was also missing the factory plastic film that is on the front of the display and was covered in dust.
Same thing happened to me in the same spot. Had to return it last night to ensure I get my credit when trading in.
Oof, sorry to hear that. Maybe try some isopropyl alcohol? My gold 12 Pro got smudges that looked like that and only come off with the soft cloth. My family’s Pacific blue iPhones got them the worst. I thought it was the same kind of discoloration.
