Looks normal to me. ?yes you have a gap, maybe return for a better one?
Apparently mine isn’t ?? looks fine to me. ?Nah mine looks perfect.
Honestly, all these pictures look fine to me.Hmmmm I smell some sarcasm...
I mean why not, you have people returning cases because they don't smell leathery enough. ?yes you have a gap, maybe return for a better one?
Yep I id have the exact same, until I pushed the top downwardsNot the easiest thing to get a shot of but here's a photo of the gap with the metal looking bits on my iPhone 13 Pro.

Wow can’t apple allow this to slip through the cracksYep I id have the exact same, until I pushed the top downwards
I definitely saw the silver metal on the left / right, just above the ear speaker, and now I can't
The back of my 13 Pro Max has no gaps, everything looks like it was built properly. In fact, the phone looks great front, back and sides. I got a good one.don’t look at the cameras on the back to closely. lots and lots of gaps back there .
I agree there are two sides to this and I've gone back and forth on this a bit. Between the "gap" and the whole UPS delivery debacle that I won't both getting into here I'm kind of mentally exhausted from this week. I remember having similar trouble with my iPhone 4 and swapping it out a few times (over the course of months) before I finally got one that didn't have scratches. I would really like to avoid going through that again.I have a gap for sure, maybe not as extreme as some photos but It’s definitely there.
There’s really 2 sides to this- if you have any form of OCD you can easily see the gap every time you look at your phone in certain lighting. These phones are quite expensive, so why should you need to settle?
The other side of this is to just enjoy the phone and see if it ends up impacting anything and at that point get a replacement.
I can also say when I did in-store pickup up and read about this previously so checked the floor models in the store. I would say about 75% of them had this gap. About 1 in 4 though, I could not see any gap at all. So there is definitely some batches where either the gap is MUCH smaller and you can’t see it at all or not there at all. At some point if apple wants to charge upwards of $1500 for phones, they need to get their QC into a better place. People that are so into high end technology have a tendency to notice these things as they are looking for a top of the line experience.
Undecided so far if I’m going to deal with the hassle of an exchange, because after seeing that 75% have the issue, you are playing the lottery if you will even get a better one. It’s at the very least, disappointing. But as others have mentioned, if you go back and look this is nothing new- there are threads for years now about gaps/sharp edges/damaged phones so I’m also not surprised. They are mass producing these and obviously do not care enough to raise their thresholds of what’s acceptable as it will just cost them more.
For me, it's not the gap that's the problem/concern, it's the metal looking stuff in it. Is my phone assembled incorrectly? What is that metal thing anyway?if the gap bother’s you, a must return. This happens a for the first batch of release, can be the factory where it was assembled, the tolerance for frame or screen. The 12 pro’s last year worst gap i saw was as thick as an atm card.
probably all have that metal thing its just not sealed/closed/tight properly thus exposed.For me, it's not the gap that's the problem/concern, it's the metal looking stuff in it. Is my phone assembled incorrectly? What is that metal thing anyway?
