iPhone 14 Pro Max Do you have this gap between the top screen and the phone frame? iPhone 14 Pro Max

[JoSeAnToNiO83]

Hello, I also had that problem and believe me it is present in many units, in some it is more noticeable than in others or it is present in another part of the phone. To me I passed with a replacement of an iPhone 13 Pro which sent to repair for failure of the mute button, they gave me a refurbished unit that had it in the same place as yours but not all the way only on the right side and the gap was wider, it seemed poorly mounted the screen I sent it again and a new one came with the same problem but to which long on the right side, I ended up selling the phone since I was not convinced by the quality of construction of it and returning to use an iPhone X until i buy the new iPhone 14 Pro, which is pretty good assembling since the small gap is pretty much the same around the entire phone. I can tell you that the Apple Store in the exhibition models you can appreciate that problem which as I told you in some is more noticeable and in others less, according to them it does not affect the ip certification, but aesthetically it is not according to the price we pay for these phones.

Sorry for my English

Probably not in apples best interests to loosen quality control standards. Again, nothing man manufactures is perfect and quality control isn’t perfect either.

You’re hyper focused because you got a phone with an issue….just return or exchange it.

I'm not hyperfocusing on a problem, I'm talking about quality control, I work in a metal stamping and plastic injection company and I know the problems of something manufactured out of tolerance, in which you find that a customer returns the product to you. The phone buy on the launch date and that I received ten days ago is in my opinion good manufactured or within correct guides if I would not be returning it, we are not talking about a phone of € 200 if not one of almost € 1319 and therefore a quality according to the price is required, it is like the finishes of a house or a car, there are bad, regular or good.

Does everything that’s manufactured ho out the door 100%? I’ll also bet your factory doesn’t manufacture tens or hundreds of millions units. Years ago I did the IT work for a record plant so I’m familiar with quality control.

I wonder about this line of logic that says the more expensive the more quality control. S class should leave the factory defect free.

Not the same gap, a different gap in a different spot. The OP’s gap is gaping big and is not waterproof

The iPhone is not "waterproof". It has water resistance for a specified depth and time. This water resistance is not achieved around the outside edge of the glass. It is on the back side of the glass. Same threads every year...

If it is manufactured in my work millions of parts in sheet metal stamping for the automotive industry and believe me those do not tolerate the slightest deviation. There is no logic in the more expensive the better quality control you will have. If not the more you pay the better will be what you will get or that is the theory. In fact both the product that is worth € 100 and the € 1000, should be totally correct, what one does not expect is that a premium brand such as Apple, which has the profit margin that we all know, comes to us with these problems of bad screen alignments when for example the rear glass does not have those problems and that glass is also mounted by people, only that one seems to have it better adjusted. Maybe we have Apple in a premium branded podium, when it really shouldn't be in that podium.

Hmm, another newbie posts a photo of a claimed defect of the new iPhone without having tried to resolve the issue with Apple, and doesn’t follow up in the discussion. Seems suspect.

Of course we all have the ‘seam’ there but I wouldn’t say mine is a gap. I can run my fingernail along it but it doesn’t go between.

Quality control issues will happen.

So take apple off the premium list. Price isn’t going down because you may not consider apple premium.

My pro max doesn’t have that gap. But yeah you can go down the road of why isn’t anything man manufactures 100% perfect.

Made me think of this…

10 years ago, I waited in line since about 06:00 on launch day for the iPhone 5. I bought mine, went home, unboxed it, and found that it had some "test photos" on it, i.e., it looked like a pre-production or prototype sort of phone. I went back to the Apple Store I got it from and they swapped a brand new one for me right away, without needing to queue in line again.

Did you save the test photos?

Nope, sorry. But from what I can recall, it was screenshots of data, not actual photos photos.
