I wanted to switch from my iPhone 7 to the iPhone 11. I got 3 iPhones in total. Every one smelled strong like nail polish, alcohol and light sweet. I was pretty sure that this smell came from some damaged battery so I replaced them. Now the third iPhone still has this slight smell when smelling the charging port To my questions: Is this smell really from damaged batteries or from something else (new adhesive, that isn’t odorless anymore?)If 1: What the f**k: 3 iPhones and everyone has an issue?! What are the odds…?! Is there some production issue with some iPhones?Should I replace this third one, too? Thank you guys for your help!
Hi This is really strange but the issue maybe to do with if they have been previously opened because I know that some liquid adhesive smells a surprising amount like nail polish I think it may have been used to glue a battery or screen down as that what someone might do To fix this I would recommend finding something cherry scented (like air freshener)and apply it to a cloth and give the device a gentle rub Down as from experience the smell from that stuff will knock any smell out of a room! Hopefully this helps Thanks:-)
Apple devices have a distinctive smell due to the adhesive and ink used in the packaging, and all the adhesive or solvent inside the devices. Does it smell way different from other brand new Apple devices you used to open? If not, then there is no issue.
