In the network there are photos of the iPhone 7 on the housing which is clearly visible flaking of the coating. Complaints can be found on the official Internet forum Apple and other sites, such as Reddit. It is believed that this is due to the intensity of smartphone usage.
As noted by 9to5Mac, the defect concerns only models of the iPhone 7 in the new matte black color.
“Bought the iPhone 7 Plus and after 3 weeks started to peel the paint near the grille of the speakers. Contacted Apple tech support and they asked me to send them some pictures of the problematic of the gadget. After 12 days was told that the warranty does not cover this defect, since we are talking about cosmetic damage”.
According to another owner, Apple in response to his complaint, offered to replace the copy in the new one. However, publicly, the manufacturer problem is not recognized.
“The paint started to move away on the grill of the speakers and it was a very unpleasant surprise from Apple. I never dropped and did not throw a smartphone,” says another.
Some users paint fades on the back around the logo and next to the volume buttons.
