i have my iphone 12 here with me still in the box, i’m scared to open it as a quick google search has resulted in many people saying their iphone 12’s have scratched really easily. As i’ve payed £799 i don’t want to scratch it, any answers?

I’m going to go with Samsung.
Your prerogative, of course.
But be aware that the Samsung forums are full of customers complaining how easily their screens scratch, and Samsungs come with a screen protector preinstalled from the factory.
Corning, and the industry as a whole, worked together to move to a glass that is somewhat easier to scratch but is much more shatter-resistant.
You can add a screen protector to protect against scratches; there’s nothing you can apply to a screen to meaningfully protect it from shattering.
same problem for me with 12 mini.
have had it for a week as the second phone. Being extra carefull than usual.
Still I have quite a deep scratch seemingly out of nowhere.
I have had many iphones over the years dating back from 3gs
Getting more and more dissapointed by the rift between apples marketing and reality…
My iphone 12 mini scratched very bad after just 2 weeks of owning. I always take care of my phones, and i trusted Apple when it said it has the hardest glass ever. I have an old Iphone 5S, an Iphone 7, none of them ever had screen protector and do not look this bad. Apple lied with the hardest glass ever on an Iphone. I will try to get it fixed with the warranty as it is their fault, but i doubt it will work. If anybody had the screen replaced or repaired under warranty please let me know.
I’ve had my iPhone 12 Pro Max since January and has been in jeans, jackets , drawers, desks and screen and case is like brand new!
so again these reports are either a lack of care and or a bad batch. As I stated if all iPhone 12 range had this issue there would have been a global outcry
I got a replacement for my 12 pro max because of the scratch on the screen. I already posted before and shared my experience, now just re-post the info for any one interested. Just apply for a warranty. I hope you all get the new ones, which deserves your money.
I’ve had my iPhone 12 Mini since March and I’m very careful with it and don’t have any scratches or knicks on it.
I feel if you do put a case on it, you’d be more careless or reckless, relying on the additional casing to protect it. Just me. I have a special pocket on my handbag to keep it pretty safe from scratches or knicks.
I have the same and have no idea where it came from- waiting for my screen protector to arrive.
totally unacceptable and an enormous disappointment. Seeing if I can return it now.
Very easily. I compare it to my previous iPhone (the X). I had that phone for almost 2 years and the screen condition was better than my new iPhone 12 Pro after just 2 weeks.
i’ve had mine since christmas and i just got a weird pretty deep scratch on it from putting it in my pocket 🙄 so annoying
Seems to be an overall issue with these 12s. Multiple other sites reporting that this screen isn’t at all what it was claimed.
I activated my Iphone 12 yesterday,today i have scratches on my display,the quality is not there with the Iphone 12,very disappointed Apple!!
It is.
"Tougher" means less likely to break.
Did you break your screen?
No, you scratched it.
That has a frosted back glass texture tho, but can easily get marks and scratch marks but they aren’t permanent.
Mine scratched super fast I mean only with two weeks the border was completely full of scratches and I’m a very careful person so it’s true the iPhone 12 Pro Max is really easy to scratch! Sad!
I already install a screen protector, I was talking about the edges of the phone, the are REALLY easy to scratch even with a case on.
Scratch- RESISTANT. My bad...
Does the iphone 12 scratch easily?
