If within 2 weeks return. Or do you have Applecare+? If so, replace.
Depending on where you live, Apple is doing the extended holiday return and any item Received on 11/10/2020 do qualify, so OP should have till 1/8/2021 to initiate. I ended up returning the launch day iPhone 12 Pro max and on the website it told me that I do have till 1/8/2021 to initiate it. Not sure about iUP but I know that products paid in full usually do qualify.

OP, as usual, if you are on iUP, I would not worry about this, there is no such thing as perfect and I don't think this scratch on the frame would be an issue when you trade it in. Plus it's in a case.

Right I am and no there isnt a perfect phone

I really don’t want to return if not I have to get approved again a long wait

I think it could of been there when I got or when I took case of who knows
 
Sorry it got scratched, it's like getting a scratch on your new car, it's going to happen sooner or later. I got the Gold Pro and a Spigen clear case, so far so good. I am also an Apple stock holder, so I couldn't return my phone for something I accidentally did to it.

Things happen not sure if it was like that when I got it

I’m on IUP returning it is a headache
 
Update Apple online told me they would return for a replacement and will
Not use my warranty they will send a new unit sealed and they can link everything like it was purchased November 6 my IUP and Warrenty they will not cancel the loan same loan.

they will need my unit back first better then return it for a rebuy

Hi OP. Did you contact Apple through online chat and what exactly did you tell them to get it exchanged? Thanks!
 
Over the phone and I told them it came scratched and they exchanged it waiting on the replacement from sales Jan 6 delivery date
Wow that’s awesome.
Mine has some scratches on frame also but J now noticed it. I got my phone on Nov 14, wondering if they will exchange it since it has been a while.
