iPhone 12 Strange wear around iPhone 12 camera (in black)

[trerep]

Hi! i have my iPhone 12 in black since 30 days and i use it with extreme care..

i noticed that around the camera lenses now it has a sort of glasses.. you can see it in the photo that i post .. it is a clearer rounded area right around the cameras...

i think it is normal because i saw it also on internet.. but when the phones are new the black is uniform.. why it deliveres such effect?

is it also present on other colors?

I have a reasonable guess. If you keep the phone in you pocket, this may be the area that does not come in contact with your clothing when taking the phone in and out of your pocket. I would imagine that it's either a collection of debris or other matter that does not get removed during insertion and removal of the phone from your pocket. The other option that it could be some sort of coating that has been worn away be insertion and removal of your phone from your pocket.

To test the first hypothesis, try taking a q-tip or a damp cloth and clean the affected area next to the lens. If that doesn't work, its probably the areas away from the lens that has had a coating that is worn off. I would think this would be less likely though.

It's probably the smudges from the dirt.

I have something like this, sort of between the lenses since I got my 12. I figured it was a slight manufacturing defect or some glue or something. Gonna try some alcohol now. Fingers crossed.
