iPhone 16 Pro Max Unexpected marks at the bottom of my 16 Pro Max

[aria26]

Hi everyone, i just noticed little marks on the bottom of my 16 PM(in both sides). I know it's maybe hard to see because of the low quality image, but, it is definitely visible in certain lighting conditions. I admit that i tried to find any flaws on my device (thanks to my ocd) and i have found it Even the marks are very little, it concerns me. What do you think about them? Should i go with this or should i return?

A) That's nothing I'd be concerned about in the least (and I wouldn't have ever noticed it in the first place).

B) It looks like you're going to have it in a case anyways, so you'll never even know they're there.

Agree. Thank you for your answer

I have the same two marks on my 16 Pro, but they are on the left side, right below the bin logo.

That's very interesting. What is the reason behind that? Maybe it will be considered as normal due to manufacturing process. Are you planning to return the phone?

I don’t know where they came from (coating process?), but I noticed them right after taking the phone out of the box. I won’t return it, as I don’t live in a country with an Apple Store, and the process would be difficult and time-consuming just for this issue.

Anyway, I’m curious if anyone else has noticed similar marks on their new phones

Guess we have to ignore it and move on.

I guess it's hard to imply PVD coating impeccably to most of the mass production devices. I had several issues on QC with my previous 11 Pro, 12 Pro, 13 Pro and 15 Pro as well. If it's not a big deal, moving on is the best option. These defects are so minor. I know it's hard since i have ocd but many people just put a case and don't think about it.
