Hey everyone,

So I recently got a XS Max and while I was installing a full body skin on it, which requires good lighting to spot dust particles before applying, I noticed a small hairline scratch on the screen, one on the back and two on the stainless steel frame below near the charging port.

Now these scratches are only visible in certain lighting conditions but I was still a little gutted with Apple's QA since its a very expensive device which should be flawless out of the box. I do suffer from OCD but at the same time I don’t wanna take the phone back to Apple and ask for a replacement as I would look like a fool doing it despite having Apple Care (don’t know if that makes any difference in this case).

Anyhow, I’ll just have to live with it but I hope Apple works on their QA. Let me know if anyone also faced a similar issue.
 
Expecting "flawless" from a gadget stamped out by the millions is unrealistic. In fact, it's impossible for all of them to have zero imperfections.
Just be happy it works (if it does).
