I have been using iPhone 7 Plus Matt Black for about one month with fully covered by a TPU casing and full screen tempered glass most of the time. I just open the casing once a week to wipe the dust off from the phone. Until yesterday when I take off the casing, and notice there is something at the edge of the phone body next to UP Volume button. At first I thought it just the dust. I try to wipe it using microfibre cloth as usual. Until I look closely it is the metal part of the body. It seems that the black anodised paint had been chipped off from the phone body. I am really disappointed with what happen to the phone because I was using it very careful.

I have chat with Apple Customer Support and it is not covered under warranty since it is under cosmetic damage. Seems that the anodised paint quality on iPhone 7 is same as what is on iPhone 5. The iPhone 7 body paint will chipped at anytime regardless you are using it very careful. Just to share with you guys    [attachmentid=8019564][attachmentid=8019565]

my friend used without case also like this, but his 7 plus matte black got one white dot on the power button like yours, not volume button, he show me and we see clearly, it should be the edge down inside, not the surface outside

first, he also thought is dust, somehow go see clearly it is the paint come off 

p/s: just contact him want to ask him send photo, he told me he touch up with black paint, now very hard to see

Would strongly suggest to clear coat / wrap the devices to prevent such occurrences as iphone 7 device is very fragile. Protecting just with the tempered glass or screen protector will not be sufficient.

thats not because without coat go look at the picture clearly... coat not even can cover that

Beside using the casing, i also use skin which I did on my own. precisely cut to fit the side button (volume,silent,lock). Just today i peel off the skin because want to make sure what is it between the volume button. previously when the skin is still attached, i thought it is the adhesive residue.

Any of you user camera lens tempered glass protection? Saw someone in garage sales sell it together with tempered glass home button. Wonder it affect picture quality or not

I re-check your photo, it seems like some anodization issue. Not only that button, it seems like others places also start on the way to clipped off.

I suggest you die die also must try the best check with Apple to get a replacement.

Any way to prevent it? If it is gonna happen to all black device, still will be the same even he get it replaced right..

I think later will be many more to start chipping. I dont know how to push them to include this under warranty. i went to Switch this evening and they said it was not cover under warranty. but they ask me to send an email to Apple US. i could not find any Apple support email on their website. So I just having a chat with customer support person and she said it is not cover under warranty. she said if i want to repair it will cost $100+ and the phone will be ship to any nearest Apple Repair Centre 

Did u guys enabled location services and bluetooth?

Mine could be lots of stuffs going on in the background coz I just restored it as new from iTunes. Anyways, lets see
