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.

I have the same problem. I am very carefull with my phone, I didn’t drop him or put it in my pocket with keys. I noticed scratches on my phonescreen and I don’t know where they come from. I can feel them with my nail if I go over them. I am very dissapointed in my new iphone display. I never had this happen to me before with older iphones.

I have a small scratch that’s almost identical! Had the phone less than 2 weeks and this occurred. Never dropped, never in purse, kept in pocket without keys. And no one will do anything unless I want to pay out of pocket to have screen replaced. I had the iPhone 7 Plus for 3 years with no screen protector on it without a single scratch phone was immaculate when I traded it in. Now I get this. I’m angered.

I have the same problem... I buyed my new Iphone 11 Pro in Germany at the Apple Store. It´s so frustrating. Support said its my own fault. Can´t believe to pay 1549 € on a new Iphone and it look after three days careful useage like my Iphone 5 seven years later.
