Anyone else have this...?

I'm not sure I'm seeing what you're describing. That looks like the edge of a screen protector to me.

 

I see a small speck but other than that I can't see much detail. If you think it's unacceptable, go look at other phones at the Apple store to see if it's common.

 

Maybe it's the way the steel is reflecting a non-uniform surface? I would recommend taking a photo with a different background.

 

I get an error when clicking that.

 

It might affect the water resistance.

 

I can see it. It looks like some sort a type of manufacturing irregularity with the stainless. Likely a non-issue, but still something you shouldn't have to notice for a $1000 iPhone.

 

Yeah I can see it too, it would bug me for little bit. If I had any other issues with the phone I would return it, but I don’t see that as the sole reason to.

I’m 2 1/2 hrs away from an Apple Store though, and what I might be willing to “live with” might not be practical to you.

 

So, I too have a couple of what I'll call manufacturing burrs on the edge. Right around the volume up button. It's nearly impossible to see, but easy to feel. It's not a big deal for me, but then again they don't appear to be too problematic. I'm surprised a BIT that one doesn't do a paper glove run around these edges prior to put into manufacturing.

 

most likely not.. it was probably there when you bought it and just didn't notice it.. excitement and enthusiasm will do that.

 

Hmmmm... can't say I noticed that one!

 

I see it. It does not appear to be on mine, so I would think it is a very tiny, albeit noticeable, defect or damage to the rim of the casing.
