iPhone 11 Gap between screen and frame on 11

[Slo Pesci]

This tiny gap along the top and around the right corner. I know 100% of iPhones don't have it but is it within tolerance ? Do you have something similar ?

This is my fourth one... the others had other issues.

What is that bump or wrinkle along the side?
Looks like a poorly-installed screen protector.

Tiny gap on mine too all the way round, looks just like yours.

It’s not something I’d have noticed had you not mentioned it, I don’t generally look at my phones that closely.

I wouldn’t worry about it.

Ya mine is really tight around the rest and a slight gap in those areas. I guess not a big deal.

4th 11?

Yup. Dust in the cameras.

Yup. Dust in the cameras.

If this is the phone you opened yourself to clean the dust out of the camera what does it matter? If the screen isn't on properly it's because you installed it wrong. You have no warranty since you decided to do it yourself so if you don't like the way it looks remove the screen again, replace the seal and reinstall it better

Your iPhone 10 & 11 has dust in the camera

I’ve done multiple housing swaps for iPhone X to qualify for warranty replacement due to another issue. It’s possible to do it right and without leaving a trace.

That is fine. The liquid resistant adhesive is underneath the screen not around it.

My XR has a tiny gap too.

Just a few observations worth noting based on your current thread(s) started and now you’re on your fourth iPhone for alleged defect reasons. Stop looking for minor imperfections, every iPhone has one, unless it poses a serious concern, then address it directly with Apple.

He removed the screen himself to remove dust from the camera.

In which case, Apple is actually specifically trained as of 2018 to actually clean behind the camera lens cover for dust, at no charge to the customer if that is the situation, where it affects the outcome of the photos.

Buddy listen, removing and re-installing the screen does not shrink the screen or expand the metal frame. It's done with a plastic pick. When you put back in the screen it has clips in it, it snaps back into place. From doing some research it looks like this gap is a common issue and all those people aren't opening their phones.

If it bothers you take it to Apple and get it replaced. I'm sure eventually you can find a phone up to your standards...
