.Doesnt seem like dirt to me, it just seems like the black line is the gap between the sim card and the body of the phone.

It becomes a problem after about a week. You could try a thin piece of screen protector material or a case to prevent that.
Same thing happens to EarPods..

It's not "dodgy" - this doesn't effect the performance of the phone in any way, nor does it really effect anything. It's a minor cosmetic issue that has NOTHING to do with how clean your hands are. I wash my hands all the time. My yellow 5c has the dark ring around the sim tray.
Perhaps not coincidentally, my sim tray is slightly recessed. I'm betting that most of the ones that are slightly recessed are the ones collecting scum around the edge while the flush ones will not be so likely to do so. My wife's blue 5c does not have this problem - and her sim tray is perfectly flush.
looks fine to me, I think you never had a white piece of tech... spaces get filled w/ all kinds of stuff and white just makes it more noticeable .
Yeah that's true. My iPad is white but there's no sim tray or anything where it could collect dust/dirt/whatever it is like that.
I remember picking up a phone on display at the Apple store and it was nasty. I will not do it again.
Wish they had made a black model. That would not have these issues and it would be great color option also.
