One of these "50/50 threads" you talk about says the below

"Don't forget the bottom of a magic mouse is also rubbing across a desk and/or mousematt all day, that probably aids the pitting more then sweat."

and "It's supposedly the same material as what is used on their notebooks. I have never noticed corrosion on my MacBook Airs."

The above is particularly true.. Apple has been using Aluminium and steel as their primary materials for well over a decade now.. I'm sure if something like sweat would frequently oxidize or in another way diminish the quality of finish on their products.. they would be long done with those materials.
That means your “sweat wont be doing anything to it. At all. Ever. Under any circumstance.” Is invalid. Doesnt mean you dont face it means everyone isnt gonna face it either.
 
I had both my XS Max and my 11 Pro Max oxidize on the bottom right where my pinky rests, probably due to sweat.

With 12 Pro Max, the Apple silicone case covers the bottom, so no more issues.
You must be a troll or have acidic sweat. Because “sweat wont be doing anything to it. At all. Ever. Under any circumstance.” According to an expert.

I have better things to do in my life than troll.
I cannot find pictures of my previous devices to show, but if you just Googled it, you would find results mentioning this exact issue:







It could have something to do with the salt in sweat that is causing this.

Edit: I just noticed that you are the OP asking about this issue, so I guess you were just saying this ironically, so sorry for misunderstanding!

Haha. I was being sacarstic... thats what im fearing. But somebody would just say im a troll and say that sweat cant damage my phone. When i know it does. This is why i made this thread to check if the iPhone 12 Pro Max face the issues i was worried about. As i live in Jakarta where its very humid and i have sweaty palms... the last time i had my phone corrode on me was the BlackBerry Dakota and iPhone 4 or 4S i cant remeber. But after that i tend to use a case.

I would assume the same thing is happening in the 12 Pro series.

In the first link I posted, someone started noticing the issue on his 12 Pro.

I am so relieved that the new official cases cover the bottom.

Yes good to know that it actually happens and thank God i did use a case after all. Or i would be going crazy because of my sweaty hands.
