Iphone 5 paint peel off here as well

Just out of the box, nothing touched and noticed that I have 3 paint job problem.
I guess it came during the production process. peel of in first pic looks more likely that paint never sit on it, not like normal scratch.
second pic is very obvious scratch.
Will apple fix this issue for me? i hope so because I did not even activated my phone yet since I noticed those paint job problem during unboxing.!

The same here, just 4 hrs after I opened the box.
BTW, is there anyone has rattling noise problem?
Here is my post about it

Frankly I don't think Nokia can replace the metal housing, unlike those of plastic.
everything on the E90 from the smallest screw to the biggest part can be replaced, and any official nokia care center should be able to get you the part(s) needed, not all parts are probably on stock, but they can sure get it for you, and should be able to replace it for you for that matter...
there are place in the web where you can see a fully disassembled E90...

The anodizing delamination issue is over blown .
If you are unboxing and activating in a Roberts/Fido/Virgin/Bell or Telus store and you see existing damage certainly YOU reject it.
The areas that appear to be subject to minor delamination are the milled edges.
This milled edge may be vulnerable to delamination since anodizing is dye process set within the top few micron of the base metal with an electric charge.
If you want an unlocked iPhone5 get it from Apple Retail at full retail price, as the carrier subsidized phones ”may” be Carrier/sim card locked for revenue protection reasons.
You need to check this locally as i can not vouch for Canadian cell phone practise.

Will Apple Repair? Latch Paint Peeling off

The paint on my latch has started to peel off and it's quite unsightly. My MBP is only 7 months old. Will Apple fix this?

My MPB has the same issue. In addition, the paint on my left palm rest is also starting to speckle. My Apple store had no problem replacing the top shell for the palm and informed me that to replace the bottom shell for the button would require them to gut my MBP. Being I have Apple Care I am going to hold off on the palm rest or top shell replacement until near the end of Apple Care. At that point I might get the bottom shell replaced as well, but am worried a bit.
Anyway, my point is: Take it to the Apple Store and ask nicely!

IPhone 6 plus paint peeling, anyone?

Anyone facing similar problem of the paint coating peeling off without any dropping, hits or bumps?
I got my set barely passed a month and had used it with a cover to protect the back. To my horror, when I recently remove the phone from the cover for cleaning, I had to see this. (attached photo, bottom left)
Went to the authorised service centre, A.Lab, which service sucked. Nothing can be done. I am beginning to wonder if I should switch over to Android devices which cost much lesser than Apple

It looks to me that the case you used had some slippage and abraded the iPhone. Apple does not replace iPhones under warranty for cosmetic reasons, keep it in your case and it won't be visible anyway.
That is your choice, switch to an Android device if you wish. I doubt any of the volunteers who participate here will care one way or another.

Iphone 5 - Black colour peeling off

Dear All,
I have brought an iPhone 5 black colour from Mumbai (India), few months back (Still under warannty).
Off late I have been observing that iphone body clour is being peeled off..Overall iPhone looks ugly because of this. We can see a lot of white sopts on phone and it looks as if the phone is 2-3 years old.
I had logged an complain with Apple support, who suggested me to show the phone to Authorized service center in Mumbai.
Apple authorized service center in Mumbai (Rahul Commerce) kept phone my phone for a week and later infomred me that nothing can be done, this is a known fault.
My question to readers and Apple is if this is a known defect what is the solution? Has anyone else faced similar issues and what action has been taken.
I want to take this matter with higher ups at Apple, every penny paid should be worth it. Besides Apple is known for its perfection, which is missing here.
Would be great if I am helped with escalation matrix - E:mails where I can write to seeking an answer in Apple.
Thanks & Regards
Harshal Desai

Take it to Apple and complain to them about it.

Paint worn off on all iPhone 6 & 6 Plus on bottom?

I went to the Apple Store today and got my first opportunity to check out iPhone 6's up close. I happened to noticed that the paint was worn off (chipped?) on all iPhone 6 and 6 Plus models on display right at the area of the lightening connection port. I looked at at least 3 different iPhone 6's and they all had the paint worn off on the bottom. Is this a rampant occurrence that many are experiencing?

Fair enough...definitely seems like reasonable scenario. Thanks for chiming in...I'm really happy to hear it's not a mass issue. I really enjoyed checking out the iPhone 6plus in particular. I will say that all of the reviews of the phones being very slippery weren't as over exaggerated as I expected. They are very slippery phones for sure. The paint chipping easily would really bug me so I'm glad this is likely a case of people not being respectful of the demo models. How hard is it to be mindful of not jamming the phones on their respective display connectors.
Thanks for sharing your insight.

You'll have to consider the benefits; is the lack of LTE and the need to send the phone overseas (THus be without a phone for that length of time) really worth the 250$ difference you'd save?
ME personally I'd rather fork over that amount of money and get the quality of phone I purchased, and not have it at half strength.

HT204407 i have had a new i phone and transferred my contacts to iclouds only this has put them on my moms iphone. she has deleted them off her phone and so i no longer have my contacts as they have deleted off my phone also. please is there anything i

my mom has deleted my contacts off her phone it has deleted them off my phone also as she was linked to icloud is there anything i can do

You can only restore them from a backup. This has occurred because you are sharing an iCloud account. ideally you should each have your own iCloud account, that way you can each manage your own mail, contacts, calendars, documents etc and avoid unintentional deletions and unwanted editing. If there is information you wish to share between you, this can be done with a secondary account.
Having separate iCloud accounts, doesn't mean you have to have separate iTunes accounts, so whilst you keep your personal data separate, you can continue to share music, apps, books, TV shows, movies etc.

Why Peeling Off

The Latch paint of my laptob is getting away and this is 1 year old computer what a shame!. You are paying more than 1,500 dollars and you get this. I have used the 2009 MAcBook Pro which I had the same problem as well. It looks awful.
