My phone still looks as perfect as it did on the day the box was first opened. It was made during week 37 & I've had it since September.

What will this look like if you scratch away all the coating?
Dang. Didn't the black iPhone 5 have a similar problem with "chipping" on the chamfered edges, too? Something ain't right
That's awful although it's not suppose to do that considering it's anodized. But from the pictures it looks more like layer of paint coat. Most of the paint chipping is concentrated around the top or bottom area which would lead me to believe that perhaps the top and bottom part have been treated differently during the manufacturing process. Would be interesting to see if this happens to the mid section aswell.
Will it turn black again in the future, like pass the parcel!?!Thats not a flaw, its a feature! Once you've grown tired of black, you can turn your phone silver!![]()

This has only happened within the last few days on my Matte Black iPhone 7 Plus and it's bugging the life out of me as I'm so careful with all my devices.
Unfortunately, I've seen this shared here on the forums for the Jet Black models as well, but not as many posts.Man I was torn between getting jet black and matte black. I thought it would be hard to deal with the scratches of jet black, but got it anyways. I'm sorry for the people dealing with this on the matte black, but I'm happy I'm not dealing with it.
Wow that is awful. I would ask for a replacement. That is a defect.Yes, my phone is chipping

I have this issue on mine. It has been in a spigen case since the day I got it. Chipping on speaker grill.
Apparently there have been people with the jet black dealing with this issue as well. I had that issue with my space grey iPhone 6 when I had it in a snap on back style case. I took the case off and there was some of the space grey adonization that flaked off the phone and ended up stuck to the case.Man I was torn between getting jet black and matte black.
