I bought my iPhone 16 Pro Max almost 2 months ago I like the phone, I didn’t notice at first like I was looking at my phone and then behold I thought it was a piece of dust but when I try to get it out, it was a little paint chip and was wondering no need to worry over a paint chip as long as everything’s working no need to worry about how could this happen?
iPhone 16 Pro Max, iOS 18
Hello~ Cosmetic damage which is what this will be classified as well… happens to us all. If it bothers you then look for a case that covers that area and enjoy your iPhone.

I wouldn’t worry about it.
I once had owned an iMac where I didn’t notice a cosmetic damage in the lower-left corner for over a year.
I got full value trade-in several years ago.
If it bothers you, then simply buy a more rugged case to better protect it.
Good luck! 👋🏼😉
In addition to Smilin-Brian sage advice, when you trade in your device, Apple checks for any damage that would be hard or costly to repair, which would take a toll on the trade in value. Anything that Apple can repair easily, such as a cracked screen, shouldn't affect the trade in value.
If you purchased this from Apple or an Apple Authorized Reseller, it's unlikely that the iPhone would have come this way. If so, this is likely cosmetic damage that occurred within your possession of the iPhone. If you purchased this from any other sellers, then you would have assumed any risks and damage that came with the iPhone.
Purchase Apple Products from the Apple Online Store, Apple Retail Stores, and many Apple-authorized resellers and wireless service providers.
Ok thanks😊
