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.

Hello honestly i think that this just a campaign againt apple you just want to give a bad thoughts about the new iphone because its the most powerfull phone of the year i saw all the photos of the scratches and i think its impossible to such scrutches to happen from nothing it dosn't really make any sense especially from a great company like apple am using the new iphone without any protections and nothing happened and we will wait to hear from some official sources

Off course we understand and thanks for your response. It is not my intention to complain. However I can confirm that the Iphone 11 and other related models do scratch easily toughness does mean does not scratch or scuff. Gorilla glass and other surfaces I have dont exibit scratches like this phone does. Is it a show stopper ? No it is not ! but Apple has to be accountable for their claims. Had I not been mis-led by Apple's claim I would have put a screen protector on it. They dont look bad right aways but you see them in light at glancing angle and and you realise OMG where did all these scuff marks come from in just 3 days ! When the number of reports are in the millions then there is a lot of truth to it. Rest my case.

only use 15 days, and just put in my pocket, i feel it worse than iphone 3gs/4s/6s/8/x that i used before,

if apple not give a solution, maybe i only choose is change samsung, and never use apple any product.

my wife used samsung for 1 years, not any scratch here, and using Gorilla Glass in iphone3gs is my reasons for Choosing Apple Initially at 10 years before, but now , i can't feel that.

The important thing to note here is that Apple made a claim that it is the toughest screen ever. That clearly means they should not scratch or even break under normal use. They have not made a single comment. We have some fanboys who here who want to fend everyone as if they have no other work in this world than to complain ! The complain is so Apple will hear us. it is important that we are heard. I have never had issues with Apple before for which I have lodged a complain. This to me is a big issue. Maybe to some they don't think it is important and then keep fending everyone about their stupidity and not using a screen protector and so on. People made a choice and spent a lot of money on this phone. This is simply not acceptable !

I noticed a tiny blotch, and it won’t come off my screen, I use an IPhone XS Max, I’ve had it for 6 months through Verizon. I was very irritated by the blemish I noticed, especially because I clean and take care of my iPhone. I have learned to be careful, I have owned an iPhone since 2010, it’s the only phone I like and value . I know my history with scratches, dents, cracks, and abrasions. This blemish on the screen is unusual and I can’t explain it to myself.

I’ve kept mine away from anything that would scratch. 1st iPhone in a few years. I’ve never had this problem w Samsung! I never needed a screen protector for scratches!! I’m only using an iPhone again because I loved my Apple Watch and love my iPad. Thought I’d go back to iPhone. Everything I read said the screen is super tough...no problems. Well the only place I keep this phone is pocket of my scrubs and on my bed at night. How in the **** do you get screen scratches from scrubs and sheets?

we need compensation! We need new screens!
