What gap?
Do you have a 12?
“Between the glass and metal edge” all around or a specific part? I’m looking to see on my device.I was putting a case on my pro max today in bright sunlight and you can clearly see a gap between the glass and the metal band. It’s big enough to collect dust from your pocket.
It collects dust, just blow it out with a freon can or air dust gun.
If it's more than dust well maybe personal hygiene is an issue?
There MUST be a gap there. Simple physics at work. If the glass were tight against the metal band there would be lots of frustrated users when their screen glass suddenly shattered/cracked from change in temperature, etc. Also this gap provides better shock resistance from falls/drops.
Wrong. Many phones have had a tiny gasket in that area.

Not Gap Gate.![]()
It looks like software 14.2.1 might have spared us 5G gate and touch gate so there needs to be some target for the easily annoyed.
Let’s not forget “yellow gate” we have to suffer about hearing every year.
