Well I guess you have your answer then. Definitely not worth getting it replaced over a minor scuff that occurs on a normal wear and tear. Being that you also mentioned you are now out of the 14 day return period. Plus you are on iUP are you not? so really something like this wouldn't matter since you are going to upgrade next year anyways. Don't stress over it.

What happened is I brought it into the store to see if they could replace it or I could return the rev on the same program? I’m enrolled, but the manager told me with the genius bar and some guy in sales that it’s a light scratch very reflective and It’s not noticeable.
He told me if I returned it and bought it I would have to re-enroll in the program and I cant do store pick up.
I’m only able to get it shipped to my house and wait till November and if I did that that would mess up my iPhone upgrade program I would be paying more to operate early in September like I always do.
He only said suggested I get the screen protector reinstalled the belkin one and I’m gonna put a glass camera cover at least that will cover the scratch but he told me if anything was wrong with the camera. I still have AppleCare and I can get that replaced if anything arises in the future.
he told me he could do the return, but in his experience that area that has glass near the camera, and the flash will always scratch, mentioning that putting a screen protector on your camera is worth it that will also scratch it like the screen the camera area if no protection is put it on it
With being on iUP, you can't do an exchange, so you'd have to return, close the loan and redo. I'm certain there is a limit of how many times you can do this before citizens one will start denying. So not really worth continuing with return and buying another.
Not sure why you can't do a store pick up when enrolling in iUP. Just doesn't make any sense. imo.
If I returned it and re-purchased the phone at the same program I was in I can’t do store pick up I can only get a ship because I’m reapplying as a brand new loan that’s why he suggested I just keep the phone because the scratch is not that bad And if I did do a return, I would be without a phone for four weeks .
As part of your iUP, do you have Apple Care? Also, pleas share a picture of the defect, would like to see what it's like after just two weeks.
Yes and he suggest not to return since I’m re applying as brand new loan I can’t fo store pickup is weird since I had my Blue titanium returned and I bought black since I had my 14 pro max still probably that’s why.
Exactly the store I went to. I went two days to the Apple Store the manager and genius and sales told me do not return it because it’s gonna give me issues when I want to do new store pick up the only option he gave me is if I returned the phone I would have to buy it and get it shipped to my house. I can’t do store pick up because I’m applying in some brand new loan, when I had my blue titanium my phone, I still have my old phone with me so that’s why I was able to Do store pickup.
The only thing, my friend who owns a cell phone repair shop, told me to put a screen protector in that area to prevent it from scratching I should’ve done that they One.
What part of the phone is this? Is the camera module missing? I can’t figure out what I’m looking at.
Yes and. I’m going to return and rebuy pass the 14 days there letting me do it I called.
If your phone is otherwise perfect, especially the screen, I would sit tight personally. Nothing worse than exchanging a very blemish for some new, more obvious issue.
No issue but only issue it double type words on Facebook app like and it add a d on the end is this a glitch?
Yeah, that's what I'm thinking it is too. The coatings should be pretty durable overall, but if they're not applied correctly there might be some chipping.
