Iphone 11 pro max screen scratches

Hello,

What Apple claimed is true, it is -more resistant- to cracks from fall damage. This years iPhones are equipped with Gorilla Glass 6.

I don't know if you've ever heard about Gorilla Glass? the guys who created this chemically increased the toughness of the glass by a complex process.

To make it more understandable, the display is more shock/shatter resistance but the surface is "softer" and prone to scratches. As far as development goes, it's either scratch OR shatter resistant. And for now it's shatter resistance as "priority".

Quote:

Gorilla Glass 6 is an entirely new glass composition that can be chemically strengthened to give it significantly higher levels of compression than is possible with Gorilla Glass 5. This enables Gorilla Glass 6 to be more resistant to damage," said Dr. Jaymin Amin, vice president of technology and product development, Corning Gorilla Glass and Corning Specialty Materials. "Moreover, with breaks during drops being a probabilistic event, the added compression helps increase, on average, the likelihood of survival through multiple drop events.

Infact: it should technically be more scratch resistant than it's predecessors. (Gorilla Glass 5)

It's a really interesting subject to read about online.

I hope this information shed a bit of light on your issue.

Kind regards,
