iPhone 11 screen scratches

Are you joking about dried detergent. We use liquid detergent. Have you evidence of wash powder turning to sand or is this just more fake information that your spreading. If it didn’t happen to you, it doesn’t mean it didn’t happen

You're not alone, this site is pathetic with respect to this "unfollow" bug that basically forces people to be stuck in this repetitive thread indefinitely. The fact that it's been know for quite some time really illustrates incompetence and whomever is being paid by Apple to run this site should be fired.

I am SO SORRY. I thought your comment was too me. It's what I get for not having coffee before signing into the forum. Please accept my apology. I did have to chuckle though. Not many of us have access to electron microscopes, but I suppose anything is possible, right ;-)

Do you seriously people think would come on here and complain about nothing? Like no one has anything better to do. Why get on this thread and defend Apple when apparently you don't have the issue. Makes no sense

You don't know and can't verify that every posted photo or poster is real. It has happened in the past and certainly could happen now that some posters could be less than genuine. Feel free however, to ignore me. That's fine.

I can't verify their validity anymore than you can. I am disparaging no one. If my posts were actually disparaging, the forum hosts would remove them. Telling people they could have avoided this by putting a screen protector on their phone is not disparaging. It's fact.

I didn't accuse anyone directly. Merely suggested it's possible, which of course it is. Please don't put words in my mouth.

And with that, I will take your advice and ignore you.

Have a nice day though.

Wise move!

Sorry that discussion goes into hot. Unlike bots like kpfoley you are real person who take more protection for your devices. You advise also smart enough. But problem is misleading advertisement from Apple and also experience with previous iPhones. I didn’t expect that screen of new iPhone is more scratch-prone.

But also I wouldn’t install screen protector - most likely I won’t buy 11 pro and stay with X while issue won’t be solved. Pretty sure it will be solved in next generation - current screen as bad as iPhone 6

My "mistake" - you were not disparaging them individually, you were doing so collectively.

I should've followed my own advice because there's no point reasoning with someone with blind loyalty, regardless of the evidence presented against his/her claim. Believe what you want but don't bully or undermine others for their experiences.

Same. My X was in my pocket/bag for 2 years - not a scratch; mint. My 11 has been used for 2 weeks and is covered in tiny scratches. Come on Apple, surely the tech (including material choices) gets better the more you charge?!

OMG! I have the same thing. This morning I woke up and saw it and I freaked out! I don't know how this could have happened because I always watch where i put my phone in order to avoid this and now bam. I'm mortified! It's only 2 months old and my previous one that I had for ages doesn't have a scratch on it! I pride myself in that. This is a real problem guys. What to do?

"Don't hate me because my iPhone 11 Pro is beautiful!

(18 weeks without a screen protector, and zero scratches.)"

I don't hate you, I just feel like you may not be entirely truthful here. You claim to have examined your screen with an electron microscope and found no scratches even with that, which is virtually impossible even if your screen is completely scratch free to the naked eye. Once again, seeing is believing, share this allegedly perfect screen and pictures taken with the electron microscope and I might just believe you.

(By the way, my _new_ screen installed free of charge by Apple is also scratch free. That is, using a screen protector which you claim not to use.)

If you can't recognize humor (after someone was repeatedly posting about needing a special LED light to see any scratches), I'm not surprised you don't recognize how irrational this thread's "scratchgate" is in the light of the rest of the world being completely ignorant of any problems despite 10s of millions of iPhone 11s having been sold.

It's also obviously irrational to believe that a picture of a scratch free phone proves anything, just as I wouldn't be convinced in the face of all the contrary evidence by a photo of an iPhone on which someone may have drawn a "scratch" with a white wax pencil. But as a scientist, I'm used to the public being irrational.
