well i have a 15 pro max and i just compared it to the images you're showing and i dont have a gap like that i think

#

im no expert though 😭

#

#

could be the way you took the photo possibly for it to show like that

#

let me see

#

Looks fine to me - this wasn’t worth cross posting like that though.

#

Looks the same as my 15 Pro

#

i think it's fine yeah

#

u use a case?

#

Yep every iPhone has that gap

toxic eagle Oct 4, 2025, 3:12 AM

#

Yes, why are you so worried about your phone?

wary wadi Oct 4, 2025, 3:12 AM

#

Not sure about the lifting

toxic eagle Oct 4, 2025, 3:12 AM

#

Is it acting funky?

wary wadi Oct 4, 2025, 3:12 AM

#

You said it was lifting

#

I thought

#

Then why are you so worried about it. Just use your phone… Everything looks normal

wary wadi Oct 4, 2025, 3:13 AM

#

Then it’s fine

#

Prob iOS 26

#

How long have you had it?

#

It can take a few weeks to finish indexing and doing stuff so yeah, give it time.

wary wadi Oct 4, 2025, 3:15 AM

#

6 h is normal

#

On a older phone like this

toxic eagle Oct 4, 2025, 3:15 AM

#

That’s normal if you have less than “perfect” cell signal (full bars and 5G)

#

Not necessarily

#

Previous person probably gamed on it which is hard on batteries

Also be sure you’re running either 18.7.1 or 26.0.1.

iOS 18.7.1

queen mica Oct 4, 2025, 3:20 AM

#

wary wadi iOS 18.7.1

That’s an option but iOS 18 is only viable for another 2 months before it gets unsupported once 26.2 comes out.

Two months is a while from now anyways

#

Yeah, and it’s preferred to update to 26 sooner than later. 26.1 already fixes a lot of the annoyances of 26.0.x, and we’re only on the first beta lol

#

Then it is fine. You are overthinking it. If you are super worried schedule a Genius Bar appointment and take it to the Apple Store.

#

Don’t trust people online. We only get a few pictures and can’t make a good judgement. Take it to an Apple Store - you will have to if it is indeed opened or something anyway.

Is it under warranty

vivid isle Oct 4, 2025, 5:24 AM

#

what’s you’re battery health at?

#

when was the battery manufactured and first used?

#

and do you have apple care?

#

curious if the battery may be swelling at all (it probably isn’t)

or if it’s a frame/assembly issue

#

if it’s a defect or lemon, you might be able to claim consumer law even if your warranty is expired, although this depends on your region and the specifics of your situation

#

in which case Apple should be required to repair or replace the device for free regardless of what the warranty says

#

assuming you’re in New Zealand(?) it looks like the closest parallel would be the Consumer Guarantees Act

#

but I could be completely wrong, so if anyone else is here, please fact check me kekw

#

if you bought the device from a private seller, then your options might be more limited
