Mine goes in the shower and I haven't seen such oxidation.Any chance that you use it in the bathroom when showering?
That damage looks like some kind of salt or solvent based damage. In other words that metal was exposed to some corrosive agent.[...]
I've raised my concerns in the Apple Store where Apple told me this is considered normal wear and no action will be taken.
I just wanted to warn anyone considering getting a (in my case siërra blue) iPhone 13 pro.
There is no "water proof barrier" on the stainless steel rings around the camera lenses, is there?As someone here once explained, the iPhone (current models) is waterproof. The problem is that water vapor, such as what you'd get as steam from a shower, is fine enough (small enough) to slip past the water proof barrier.
In other words, the phone is water proof, not gas/steam proof.
If normal weather humidity is an issue, there would've been tons of reports from countries in SE Asia like Singapore and Indonesia. But there aren't.if that’s the case I would still be sorely disappointed in the build quality.
If it can’t handle 10 minutes in a humid environment a day what happens if you live a sub tropical environment?
Gotta use WD-40 on that asapView attachment 2002294 View attachment 2002295 I recently made the switch to iPhone.
the switch hasn’t been what I expected in terms of build quality.
my phone is few months old, has never been dropped or been in the water but the stainless steel camera rings on this waterproof phone are already showing spots of rust.
the colour on the front of the stainless steel rails is also already faded.

What’s your battery health ?I've has my Sierra Blue Pro since release day and have never had this problem
So your comment before this one was a lie? You said pristine condition for all your old iPhones but then the following post you reveal all these not so pristine conditions for these very same phones. Please stop making claims for arguments sake. Annoying. People come here for advice through lived experiences. Not ones that apparently change, like shifting sands, just for the sake of engagement. Keep real and honest. No need to respond. Just keep it 100.I'm not implying I've never dropped my phones before. I ended dropping my HTC Touch Pro once and in picking it up I kicked it and sent it flying. This was face down on concrete.
I have dropped my 5 and dented a corner. My 6s+ has some micro scratches because I dropped it getting into the car, there is a sliver of metal taken out of my iPad bezel because it hit the bed frame when I dropped it in bed.
But the only time I cracked glass was with an iPhone 6+ and this 11 Pro Max. In both cases I was not feeling well when it happened and therefore not paying attention.
No, it wasn't a lie.So your comment before this one was a lie?

p.s. - you’ve just been served.
iPhone 13 is not waterproof…from the Apple website…As someone here once explained, the iPhone (current models) is waterproof. The problem is that water vapor, such as what you'd get as steam from a shower, is fine enough (small enough) to slip past the water proof barrier.

Thank you, my bad. I am now wondering where I got the idea it was waterproof instead of water resistant. SMH at myself.iPhone 13 is not waterproof…from the Apple website…
”Rated IP68 (maximum depth of 6 meters up to 30 minutes) under IEC standard 60529”
Not the standards page, but a reference…https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IP_Code
Hey maybe cool your tone down a little? No need to be so rude here.So your comment before this one was a lie?

I think this is a one off situation i got my 13 pro in October and have swimmed with it and there is no rustView attachment 2002294 View attachment 2002295 I recently made the switch to iPhone.
