iPhone 16 Pro Max 16 Pro Max came with weird discoloration

[Furrr]

Hi,

Just unpacked a new iPhone 16 Pro Max Natural titanium and it has some weird discoloration on the titanium.
Anyone else has this.

It’s on the top / back ridge and it’s impossible to rub it off.

In the last 3 years it seems like every Apple product I buy has some imperfection on it. (Airpods pro had glue on the black grill, Macbook pro M1 pro had a dent on the case)

Its super frustrating. Just installed everything on the 16PM… 😅

Return it if your not satisfied with the product

Is that a big gap between the frame and the rear glass??

 

[bigjnyc]

Yeah I would return that ASAP. That would bother the hell outta me

Returning the new 16 pro max once more!
TelePhoto lens is full of dust specs.
Minimum of 5 specs with some smaller ones scattered around the lens.
Im kinda done with this lottery tbh.

For those interested:



Just returned the device (Apple Store Amsterdam) and they also noticed several specks of dust on the telephoto lens. Without hesitation, they grabbed a new device for exchange, but it also had dust on the lens. With the new unit, not only the telephoto lens was affected but also the top lens. The salesperson was baffled. In the end, I got a refund and was casually advised to wait for the first batch to pass and to buy a 16 Pro Max again in about two months.

Won’t make a difference 1st batch , 2nd batches etc. these type of issues have been present for a while and will continue to be present.
