Did you have the iPhone on low power mode? I ‘believe’ that maybe disconnects it if you lock the screen. At least it used to.

Return definitely. Nothing you can do about it yourself without having to open up the entire phone which is a LOT of work. Best just to get a replacement.

That’ll buff out easy with some brasso.

I know I must just be overtired or something but what are you seeing here? I’m seeing a bag on the floor but very obviously missing whatever it is you’re all seeing? Thanks.

You mentioned a phone with no battery but then talked about messages sending? I’m not sure which you want an answer for in that case. To be very clear though it’s absolutely impossible for a phone to be tracked if it has no battery or even if turned off. If turned off then the circuitry is under no power whatsoever and unlike the movies it would be absolutely impossible to track.

Android guys acting pretty much exactly the way that every single Android owner who comments on every iPhone post online! 😂 No idea why it annoys them so much!!
