Images Depict 'Extremely Rare' iPhone 11 Pro With Misaligned Apple Logo

by

Apple has in place stringent quality control standards on the assembly line floor to prevent mistakes in production, but that doesn't mean they don't happen.

misaligned iphone 11 pro apple logo
Images shared on Twitter reveal an iPhone 11 Pro with a misaligned Apple logo on the back of the device, a misprint that is said to be as rare as 1 in a million.

The images, posted by Internal Archive, clearly show the Apple logo is canted up from the base and slightly off-center, making it closer to the right than it should be.

The Internal Archive, which often shares images of Apple prototypes, claims the misprint could "possibly be even rarer" than 1 in a million, which apparently made the device a sought-after item – it recently sold for $2,700, according to the Twitter account. The phone was purchased in an Apple Store and the customer kept and resold it.


Defective Apple products do make it out of the factory from time to time, but multiple devices are usually caught up in production faults, so it's unusual for a single impacted device like this to see the light of day – and even more uncommon for someone to pay over the odds for one.

the Apple logo is slightly off-center ... and closer to the right side than it should be.
Off-centre and closer to one side than the other! Gosh!

Better put a case on it

Imagine you open this phone and realize the housing is an aftermarket one...

It's basically a manufacturing defect that slipped past QC. Why are people making it seem like some sort of rare collector's item?

Did you do a clean install? Or did you migrate over your files? I did a clean install on my M1 mini and I haven’t honestly had a single issue.

Other than sometimes the second display (hooked up through a USB-C adapter) doesn’t power on, just the HDMI. But it’s not crucial for my work so it’s more of a nicety to have dual screens for me.
So what your saying is your Mac has bugs and your willing to overlook them. Because it’s Apple
