Macbook Air M1: Discolouration around USB-C port

[druPPa23]

My Macbook Air is one year old and has always been treated with great care.

Recently I've stumbled on some discolouration around the USB-port I use for charging.

As it is a rather large area I don't know if I should accept this as "battle scars" or contact an Apple Support Center.

What would you advise me to do?

Thanks!

Looks like the metal of the USB-C connector is chipping away at the finish.

I say just live with it.

In worst case, I think you can paint over it.

That's not discoloration. That's you trying to plug in the cable without looking. It's a very common issue. I wouldn't think too much about it. If you get a new computer in the future I would suggest you be a little bit more careful when plugging it in.

I concur, you have to be careful and make sure you insert the USB C plug without hitting the sides.

OK...thanks for your replies
I was used to MagSafe and perhaps I have to pay more attention to my cable attachment style

If you buy silver, the scratches won't appear as bad.
