iPhone 13 pro scratches

Hi.


I have recently purchased an iPhone 13 pro, and for a couple of days, before I put on a screen protector, I have got a lot of small scratches (around 7 or 8). I know toothpaste works making the scratches less obvious for other glasses, but since iPhone 12 series, the ceramic shield is a completely different type of glass. Will it still work, or will it make the ceramic shield scratches worse?


Thanks,

iPhone 13 Pro, iOS 15

On no account use any abrasive or the oleophobic coating will be removed. Scratches will be deeper than the microns thick Coating.

Use a barely damp cloth to clean iphones, or alcohol based screen cleaning pad.

Fit a glass screen protector to prevent further scratches. Screens are tough but not scratchproof, any more than iphones are waterproof.
