iPhone 14 Pro Max Silver dots around the frame / Display gap

[absolutkev]

I already have my third iPhone 14 Pro Max in space black. Has anyone noticed, especially with the black model, that these dots can be seen on the edge between the display and the frame? You can only see them in direct light, especially in sunlight. It looks like the frame wasn't milled cleanly by a machine. With some models I also had the problem that the gap between the display and the frame was so big that you could see the silver inner workings. Too bad that Apple has had these problems since the iPhone 12 Pro.

(Sorry for my bad English)

Then I’d say just live with it.

I don’t have that on my space black 14PM

I remember that since the iPhone 12 PM. It’ll either be at top or bottom or none at all. Need a jeweler loup and magnification for me to see it. 😂

Likely a machining issue. I don't have that on mine, which is the SB model as well.

Having this exact issue on the 14 Pro Space Black. For the 14 Pros, I noticed (among mine and those on display) it’s occurring along the right edge since the display seems to be favoring the left edge. It’s easily visible along the right edge in direct lighting.

On the first 14 Pro, it was fairly visible and unacceptable. Waited a week to obtain another 14 Pro and return the original. The second 14 Pro glass display still slightly favoring the left. It seems as if it the steel band is not conforming to the glass display.
