iPhone 12 pro scratched screen

I've only had my iPhone 12 pro for 3 days, haven't left the house & yet I already have significant scratches on the 'super strong' ceramic glass front screen! Anyone else experienced this? #notveryhappy

iPhone 12 Pro, iOS 14

Well, after contacting both Vodafone (my upgrade provider) and Apple, the response for both was no replacement.. Apple support encouraged me to write up a proper negative feedback, which i did and neither of them offered any care advice.


After a bit of research I bought a screen protector by Mous Uk, what they call hybrid glass, and Im very happy wt it. It comes wt an applicator and instructions and I cannot notice the scratches underneath it now, also the touch response is the same as not using any protector. I just wish I knew beforehand about this screen flaw in the new models as I would have waited and installed this even before i turned on the phone for the first time. I never had that with previous models, my last Iphone XS was used wt no screen protector for two years and nothing like this happened.


Apple should definitely review and improve this glass screen, this is not good enough for a device this expensive. #unimpressed

100% Totally agree with you...

Have an iPhone 12 Pro Max with a case since day one, screen protector and now I tooked out the case to add a camera lens protector and I found an scratch on the back glass, same spot and same scratch that has another phone on a forum that I found, there's no way that scratch happened to me, it came like that from factory, and now are they going to say that is cosmetic? hello people we are the consumers we don't owe Apple, they owe us, Apple your phone is over $1000 dollars so you should take care about your mistakes.

I have also had my phone for 3 days now and when I got up this morning I noticed a deep scratch on my iPhone 12, the scratch is only 1 cm but still, its a scratch on my new phone. My other phones prior to this never got a scratch on them like this one has. I prefer the glass on the other iPhones like the iPhone 11 Pro Max. My question: is there a way to get the scratch out or do I have to now pay $29 to have the screen replaced?

Thank you for regurgitating the same answer over and over. It is extremely helpful - not.


I have owned every iPhone since the first one and I have never had this issues. I have had screen protectors and have not had screen protectors. I have dropped previous phones and have never had any issues with the glass. Setting your phone down on a table, wearing an earring, etc, isn't out of the bounds of normal usage. She wasn't flinging rocks, didn't drop it, didn't take a nail to the phone, didn't set it on crushed diamonds, screw, etc - just set it down. There was nothing on the table that was between 5/6 on the Mohs hardness scale.


Your logic is flawed - you shouldn't have to purchase a screen saver after purchasing a $800 phone. The glass should withstand normal use.
