Some owners of the iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus are complaining that the buildings of smartphones chipping paint, leaving light spots. The message on it appeared on the Apple support forum. Users emphasize that carefully monitor the device. In this presentation you can lose even relatively new devices.
According to iPhone 7, chips appear despite the fact that they never dropped the gadget and wore it in a case. We are talking about smartphones in a matte color. Judging by the photos, the paint is cracking on the corners and near the speakers, near the logo and buttons. When contacting the service center people get to refuse warranty service under the pretext that the defect is cosmetic in nature.
Most suffer from it are the edges of the body and the area near the buttons. At the same time on iPhone 7 Plus, there are more defects than the smaller model. “We’ve paid, but have to use a marker to cover the chips,” says one user.
Tellingly, paint flakes flies from the Matt iPhone, even if it is protected by a cover, leaving white spots. One of the owners of iPhone 7, States that had faced a similar problem at the end of the device around the speaker, although the smartphone from the first day of purchase was in a protective case. Another had paint peeling on the mute switch.
It is worth noting that four years ago a similar problem has been observed with the iPhone 5. These messages have remained at the level of rumor, if not the statement of the Vice-President of worldwide product marketing Phil Schiller. In private correspondence with one user, he said that peel coating on the black versions of the iPhone in use is not factory marriage. According to him, “it’s okay”.
