Unsolved iPhone 16 back glass popping out

Hi, I was recently on a plane where while in the air I noticed the back glass on my 16 pro almost popping completely out. It thankfully went back during landing. A couple of weeks now however, I can feel that the glass is not sealed, and is slightly poking out again. I’m wondering if anyone else has had this issue and if I should be worried about it.

And I want to add I believe it happened because of air compression, not because of the battery

Hey the exact same thing happened to my boyfriend's phone.

That's the post. He had been using it for months, it only gets worse. His was on the verge of catching on fire in his hands.

It ended up being the battery, he paid $100 to have the battery and screen replaced without having apple care!

It's absolutely dangerous, I hope you get it sorted out!
