Also, I shouldn't have to point out that we're talking about a phone that is, itself, made in China, as is I'm sure virtually every case out there on the market for it, whether "brand name" or not..
Got a tip for us?

Looks like it missed a step in the manufacturing process. Maybe the aluminum case wasn't cleaned properly before the costing was applied. And for some on this forum to say that it can't be true as there would be others having the same problem, I disagree. Certainly I have no idea on the actual manufacturing in China of these phones. However I work for an automotive parts supplier and we do coating of stampings. There is a multi step process that happens before the costing goes on. If one step is missed, the outcome can be a defective part.
It's rare for just one or two parts to miss a step and get through but it could happen. The case could get dropped and then picked up and miss one of the processes. Usually manufacturers have many error proofing measures built into their process but unfortunately mistakes happen and defects get through.

Yeah because he was the only one who reported it that totally means he's the only one in the world with the issue.
Hostile?
You have no idea. As soon as they end my incarceration, I hope to get a job and behave.
Hopefully this will shut up those claiming fake and you did the damage yourself.
Its an issue with the aluminum. When debris gets into the aluminum during manufacturing it doesnt bind with the aluminum and if near the surface can fall out and create these tiny voids or holes.
Youre not alone !!! My iphone 6s rose gold!!!!! have this problem too but in a minor scale!
Only problem in my countrty there isn't any apple stores just third party resellers!!
Omg now that i look it deep it seems almost like yours mine its on a case too wtf !!!

Yes it definitely looks like my issue! Better get in contact with Apple soon to see if they can resolve it for you.Subido en subir imagenes

You are really grasping at straws to try to prove somehow it's not a problem with the phone or a manufacturing issue of Apple's. I wonder what your next theory will be.
My phone is perfectly fine and I carry it naked a lot. Even dropped it a couple times. No chipping.
Before you ship it off, take and post the last pictures.
I am thinking maybe there's gas in the aluminum, and it's the bubbles that are bursting.
The big question is, is it Samsung chipping or TSMC chipping?
The FCC regulatory information is now in the Settings app. It appears in General / Regulatory... It has Euro, Japan, along with US and Canada regulatory information.
It has half the regulatory information from the iPhone 6 Plus, which also included, Mexico, Brazil, Costa Rica, etc.
Ok I'm shipping it back to Apple in another 3 days. So I'll take it out of the box and have a look at it before I send it back to them. See if I can spot any new markings.
Problem is, I wouldn't be using it from now till I ship it back to Apple. Do you think it will get worse even without usage?

Why not use a case?
If the containment is gasification, then you would have to have it in your pocket and get warm for it to get worse. The air has to expand. Just a theory. Reasonable speaking, no I don't think it will get worse, sitting in your apartment.
Get as good of pictures as you can. I would like to see the marks as clear and close as possible. It seems to happen right at the edge of the aluminum, where it's weakest.
Apple apologists won't run out of "original" ideas. You can bet. They'll surprise you anytime.
Will it make disappear the chipping?
