iPhone 11 screen scratches

my wife and me have put our brand new iphones 11 inside our pocket pants and both screens get scratched the second day of use (mines right in the selfie camera, apple says “without mal function”...). Has someone experimented somethg similar? We are really dissapointed, apple only cares if you have bought “apple care”....we cant use the screen without a protection: worst screen ever....👎

Older smartphones had more scratch resistant, but more brittle glass.


Since people don't like paying $300 to replace their glass when dropping their phone a foot, cell phone makers overall (not just Apple) moved to formulas that are more shatter-resistant but are slightly more scratch prone.


This issue is solved with a $20 screen protector; you can't apply something for $20 that will stop your screen from shattering in a fall.

Yeah, but the android devices rn + the old iphones are not that easily scratched. Lovely how you comment, but even didn't use one naked + the iphone naked to comment. You got screen protectors on all of your recent phones, right?


People here didn't, they used tons of phones naked and state the iphone 11 screen is scratching a lot easier and brutal. But who are they, right? After all they used naked devices for 10+ years, you who used screen protectors and read few articles on google knowns better.

Word for word. I can say the same but opposite. Don’t you think it is silly level of discussion. Message above contains poll result. Let’s stick on that and not about our local observation.

And again - case with online purchases. Do you think lot of people who buy iPhone online will go to mall or shop to install protector.

Hope you both represent Belkin or other glass protection company. Not Apple.

Guess I’ll be banned for that. But that so silly discussion level now

Probably a much better source than someone who hangs around a thread on the internet solely to tell people who are experiencing poor performance out of their iPhone screens that they are wrong and themselves to blame though eh?


theres something not right with this screen, might not be that way for everyone, but it is for me and the other people reporting similar problems here.... oh and Linus ;)

So I finally decided to come back to Apple after 6 years and I was pretty excited about the phone. I’ve been very careful to keep the screen safe and I just noticed there was a tiny scratch in the middle of the screen! It’s not super noticeable but it is bothering me. It’s been 6 days and it’s not like I’ve been keeping it with my keys or change. I have no clue how this could have happened, for ***** sake do I need to carry this thing on a pillow!? I’m going to try and return it. Super disappointed and I can’t believe I bought into the hype, possibly the worst screen I’ve ever had on a phone.

Ive given feedback, made a complaint and are going to have the phone looked at by a technician. Not that im expecting any of this to help but the more we kick up a stink the more likely we are to have something done about this.


Then again this is the company that gave us the original folding phones and those ones you could only make calls from if you stood on one leg and tucked your head under your armpit


Ive just had the keyboard replaced on my Macbook.... lets not even start on Macbook keyboards

I'm having the exact same issue with iPhone 11 Pro Max. Right after a week after delivery I noticed tiny scratches in the middle of the screen. I'm only carrying the phone in my pockets where there are no other things in there and was already wondering about it.


I noticed this thread after the german blog golem.de wrote an article about it and now I find myself in the descriptions of this problem.
