New iPhone 14 pro max have a small mark out of the box. I just buy the iPhone 14 pro max on white and after 2 days (with apple silicone case) I noticed a paint mark on the right upper side of the phone. It seems that they start painting the white line more left and then stopped it. We don't have an apple shop on my country so I purchased it from an authorized reseller. I called apple support on my country and they told me that they don't have a procedure for such a tiny defect.I know it is very tiny but I am angry because I paid almost 2000 Euros for this.

iphone 15 pro has paint flaw on back My daughter bought a 15 Pro and noticed after one day there was a spot on the back of her blue phone that looked scratched but its smooth, like the rest of the phone. It looks like a flaw to me. We took it back to Verizon and they could not do anything about it. I'm not sure what I am looking for on a fix but it has to be some sort of flaw and was needing to let Apple know. Expensive phone, responsible owner and now a flaw or defect...

Apple's return policy is 14 days after purchase. Otherwise, open a repair ticket using your one year warranty.
