Well that is not good! @vengapat9 did your case come with mic holes at the bottom
My charger just came in
you waiting on a pro max?
Sort of expected this but I can’t imagine how bad this will look in a few months

I think it's something to do with the case not the Magsafe because I charged many devices on Magsafe without the case and I did not see any issue.
I was charging my 11 Pro via my MagSafe charger in a Product Red 12 MagSafe case. My Pro was down to 5% and I charged it up to 85%. That took a few hours on my 11 Pro charging base. Fortunately it left no such marks on my case.
We shall have to wait and see how other people’s cases do after the phones are delivered.

Makes sense. This is why Apple put the ring of white on their clear cases because its going to scratch the hell out of it.
I just don't understand why Apple are being lazy. I'm sure in Steve's days we'd never have this issue...even during Ive's days!
I do wonder if over time this will scratch the back of the phone. I don't typcally use cases and hope it doesn't permanently scratch the back of it.
Yes... waiting to order the 12 Pro Max in a few weeks.
But it works with my 11 pro Max as well.
I wish they made a clear case with a graphite ring. I'd use that!!
Is the white ring not there to hide the magnets?
Ring or not, that case won't look that clean a month from now.
I love Silicone cases but these are a greasy, smudgy, chippy mess and not a case you get for long-term perfectly maintained looks. (Personally, Apple cases are so plain that I like the ring)

I’m so glad they kept the lightning port as I have no use for the mag charger.
I have a XS Max in a white silicone case. 2 years now. Still white and clean. I just put a chip in it two days ago when I forced my phone back in wrong after cleaning it.
Other than that, no issues.
The real money is the case for the case for the case. We're also looking into cases for that, but I expect the technology won't be there for another 5 years.
I thought I spotted marks on cases (& even mock iPhones) during MagSafe review videos 🤔
Leather cases already have their own magnetic issues - that being they’re bacteria magnets 🦠
I have a feeling it’s only so long before third parties come out with better MagSafe style cases and cheaper but better chargers. A firm contact was always going to mark a case like this.
