What model Leica cell phone do you own? Did you miss the part about the photo being a fake and the OP being suspended? Those are the facts if you’re interested in that sort of thing.
Btw, Leica does make over priced defective products on occasion.
Got a tip for us?

Google premature Leica CCD failure and then get back to us.
And a product line that runs from $1400 to $20,000 and produces minuscule numbers of products is hardly comparable.

I don't see it either (but could be the odd angle of photo). Wouldn't be an issue for me anyway, since I only use cell phone as an emergency power/network outage phone and as a wifi hotspot during ISP cable outages. I only ever buy the least expensive iPhone for that reason, and keep it powered off 99.99%+ of the time, to drive telemarketing folks insane.
Please don’t be so negative and enjoy your new phone I am sure you return it to Apple Store in your state . Positivity makes an impact
I’ll admit. I believed it. It crossed my mind that it could be fake, but how can you tell? I also couldn’t think of why anyone would go to all that trouble. Maybe I’m more naive than I thought.
Have you taken any actual measurements? Or is this all based upon observations with the naked eye? I ask because it is well known that your eyes can deceive you. Shadows, lighting, color, sight lines all can combine to make things seem off. Take for example those pictures people post online that appear to be one color to some people but another to others.
How could I tell? This is literally impossible to make it past QC.
Apple can’t produce just one phone that looks like this without producing tens of thousands with the same defect. And this wouldn’t be where we first hear of it; in a forum post from a suspect user.
Umm, I just had my new iPhone 14 Pm delivered. Something's off here. WTH is happening to quality control? uh?
I don't know about that. I received a product, I can't remember at all what it was, but it skipped an entire step in machining. Imagine a MacBook where the edges weren't chamfered or the speaker grill wasn't holed, cuz it was on that level. Things can certainly happen. Whether the OP is a turd or a genuine reporter is debatable but the fact remains it isn't exactly impossible.
Like the iPhone 11 (iirc) that sold for a truckload of money because the Apple logo was wonky lol
So how much time and energy has this new phone cost you already? Do you like inspecting phones, returning them, obsessing over them? And from a 13 to a 14? What gives?
Isn't there a better way to spend one's life?
Speculation is one thing. Fiction and fraud are another. This whole discussion is based on a fictional problem based on a faked photo.
Just look closely and notice the light edges around portions of the bump. Not to mention, there’s no way this is going to happen the way these are manufactured. The order final poster was a newbie whose account was shut down shortly after posting. Go back and read the thread, others pointed out the forgery as well.
