==== You are dealing with: ====
* a stolen phone
* financial pressure
* disrupted sense of control
* prolonged vigilance

That makes any unexplained device behavior feel much bigger — and that’s understandable. But this particular symptom has a well-understood physical cause that matches your description extremely closely.

If you want, tell me:
* Does it look worse on light gray than on black?
* Does rotating the phone keep the spots fixed?

I’ll stay with the technical reality, not assumptions.
