Posted on Twitter Friday from “Internal Archive,” the images represent the back of an iPhone 11 Pro from two points of view, with one tilted up from the base while the other is a flat top-down view. The second image is displayed next to an edited version to highlight the “printing error”.

In this case, the logo is off-center to the right, as well as slightly tilted counterclockwise. If it is authentic, it is likely that it is a manufacturing error in which the board was not properly seated on the machine before the logo was applied to the device.
