On Reddit, “mr_rakue” writes, “I seen the sides of my iPhone having some kind of adhesive that’s peeling alongside the sides of the again. Have any of you encountered this? I’ve been utilizing a Rhinoshield Mod NX however I don’t see how this may impact the again. I’m really shocked that this kind of adhesive even exists on the again. It looks like the whole again is a sticker that’s about to peel off.”

One other submit got here from a Reddit consumer named “TheManchot” whose iPhone 15 Professional collection unit suffered from the identical downside. He wrote, “If yours is what mine was, don’t pull at it. It’s the adhesive for the again glass (between the titanium body and glass) and sure impacts IP68. I had an especially small quantity, and I used a really sharp, skinny razor blade and slide it alongside the again – cautious to not have the blade so vertical it will scratch or dig into the body, however slice off the adhesive. It’s too unhealthy that’s popping out of the manufacturing facility.”
This could appear to be a producing defect however will probably be as much as
Apple to make that dedication. Should you see this taking place to your iPhone, plan on making a go to tot he Apple Retailer or a licensed service middle ASAP.
