iPhone15 Series device arrives in a condition that is not in new condition. One post came from a person who bought an iPhone 15 Pro Max and said that when he took it out of the box, he found three cracks on the back panel. The owner of this iPhone said that when he opened the box, the phone was loose inside the box.
If you receive a defective unit, please contact Apple as soon as possible to arrange for a replacement to be shipped to you as soon as possible. To avoid receiving a defective unit, you could wait until Apple and its contract manufacturers make the necessary fixes on the assembly line, but I’d be surprised if an official statement to that effect was released.
If you can’t wait, or feel like something like this can’t happen to someone like you, these flaws don’t appear to affect the operation of affected devices. This means you can continue to use your new phone while you wait for a replacement unit from Apple.
