iPhone 14 Pro Max Weird mark under black glass out of the box

[Gordon123123]

Noticed it when I unbox the phone. There are some straight brushing marks under the glass.
I tried cleaning it with alcohol pads and micro fibre cloth but it didn't work so it should be under the glass I reckon.
Though it can only be seen under certain angles...
This is bugging me out. Should I go for a replacement? but stock here in my area seems scarce... might have to wait for 2-3 weeks.

I vote keep it. I can’t see anything and you probably will put a case on it. Wait a few days and you won’t care.

Thanks for your reply.
I am going naked with my phones so aesthetic flaws like these tickle me.
I mean the 'brushed' mark in the blue box.

If you phone is working perfect, I would keep it and not take a chance.

I would honestly go for a replacement - these units are too pricey for having such esthetic flaws like these out of the box.
Just my 2 cents.

Replace it. If the flaw bothers you right now, you’re not going to take your mind off of it

Don’t worry. You will soon have many aesthetic flaws with your phone if you use it naked.

Not me. My old iPhone 13 Pro was flawless.
