Hairline scratch on iPhone XR screen

Hi,

I’m looking for suggestions and recommendations on dealing with a hairline scratch on my iPhone XR screen. It’s deep in sections whereby you can feel it with your fingernail. I’ve tried everything apart from an LCD Scratch repair kit - which I’d like comments on if anyone hasn’t used. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Josh.

iPhone XR, iOS 12

Any ideas how to remove scratches? Within few months later, with my new iPhone, there wasn’t a scratch. Within few days, unexpectedly there have been small scratches on the screen? I do make sure I was very careful as i paid an expensive price for it, well by monthly. This is utterly disappointing… anybody having this issue? Screen protector… can’t buy any of those atm I’m broke lmao 😮‍💨

Scratch issues 11 pro max After about 3 weeks of usage of my new iPhone 11 Pro Max I have noticed a deep scratch in the screen. It is hard to see it but I can definitely feel it when moving my fingers over it. I have been an IPhone user since 2008 and I have never seen anything like this. The phone is been treated with great care riding solo in my jacket pocket. When googling I noticed that a lot of users are experiencing the same problem. Is this something that Apple will solve on warranty?

Visit an Apple Store or Authorized Apple Service Center. Let them assess the iPhone and advise you how to proceed.

Thanks. I’ve spoken to a ‘Phone Repairs’ store and they’ve told me cheaper to get a LCD Screen repair kit or whole new screen...
