iPhone 17 Pro – Back glass slightly lifting / bulging near the top? (Fingerprint/nail gets caught)

Hey everyone,
I’ve had my iPhone 17 Pro for about 8 months now, and I recently noticed something weird about the back glass.
The top part of the back glass (right around the camera bump and Apple logo area) feels slightly higher/more raised compared to the rest of the back. If I run my fingernail from top to bottom over the seam between the glass and the titanium frame, my nail literally gets caught on the edge of the glass.
Lately, I’ve also noticed some weird charging behavior where the battery percentage seems to get "stuck" around 97% unless I force-restart the phone.
The phone has some normal minor scuffs from daily use over the last 8 months, but the back glass itself is NOT cracked or shattered at all. It just feels like it's lifting or bulging from the inside.
Has anyone else experienced this with their 17 Pro? Could this be the early stages of a swollen battery pushing the glass out, or just a manufacturing defect with the adhesive?
I still have the limited warranty active, but I'm worried Apple or an AASP might try to blame the minor outer scuffs and refuse to cover it. Any advice on how to handle this?
Thanks!

קנית בית בזוגיות

אני בזוגיות שנתיים אחרי כמה שנכשלו, בוגרים באזור גיל 28-30. יש לי כסף שחסכתי לפני הזוגיות 800 אלף בערך. האם לקנות דירה להשקעה זה רעיון טוב ? לבת הזוג אין הון אז אני לא יודע איך להסביר לה את זה והאם זה צעד נכון מבחינתי ?
