But the case is not covering the camera bump so you can see the actual color of the phone.
If you look, at the picture, the edge where the glass back meets the frame would not have a ridge if there were no case. Though I have not seen a case where the there is no protection for the cameras.
 
Did JerryRigEverything get ahold of that phone or what? I’m usually sympathetic when people experience defects or quality control issues, but this very clearly reeks of user damage.

And I don’t even mean that in a user-was-internationally-damaging-the-phone way. I mean that as in, something happened, maybe an incident or two, or some repeated pattern over a longer period that caused that damage.
Yeah, that kind of disintegration is kind of insane.
Good information to know. Thank you.
This is good to know thank you
 
Camera bump takes alot more friction than rest of iPhone even when you just put it on table
If this happens other places on your iPhone bring it back

Correct, but the case does not cover the areas around the lenses, that clearly shows the tru color of the phone.
And yes, the ridge in the case around the camera is to protect the lenses, never mentioned that.
 
Got my 12 mini at launch, cased almost immediately after its unboxed, the bottom edge near the charging port started chipping paint after a couple weeks of usage. I’m using the official magsafe silicone case as well, which is concerning.

Have you contacted Apple Support about the chipping issue?
 
Asking around about this, including in Reddit. Apparently there are reports of paint peeling on the iPhone 12/pro. See here:



Is this happening to your phone?

Also--I thought these were anodized colors? I didn't realize they were just painted on. My 11 Pro still looks perfect.

Really concerned about this... I was thinking of trading up my 11P but now I'm not so sure.
Anodized is not painted. MUCH more resistant.
 
That Reddit user, that the OP references in their first post, removed their post (and accompanying picture of the paint peeling) and their name from their post on Reddit. Curiousor and curiousor.
