Hello,

Hmm, I've not had any issues with mine. I also just keep it in my pocket. If you are concerned, you might consider a screen protector similar to this:

Good luck.

I have had my phone less than a week and notice so scratches near the camera on the screen. It is round in nature and looks like something was rubbed or set on it. I have only put it in a pocket of soft pants a lone. I have not dropped the phone or set something on the screen. This is crazy that it scratched so soon while waiting for a screen protector. I’ve never had this happen with any other phone. I have no idea what would have given it so many little scratches like this. Very disappointed with this from Apple.

I am so disappointed, just had my phone 14 pro for 4 days until i had screen protector ordered. i saw 3 scratches already, kept it so safe. No mishandling at all.

My old samsung note was far better in that regard, it literally fell from 1 floor high and nothing happened i meant screen didn’t broke.


My watch series 7 screen broke, iphone XR screen broke.


Apple should maintain Quality control and live up to high prices we have to pay :(

Same on mine. I've never used a screen protector and never had a single scratch on any previous model of iphone I've had (and I've had a bunch of them). Usually kept in pocket on its own, but after a few months I have 3 rather large somewhat deep scratches (that I can physically feel with my fingernail). I do believe the quality of this glass isn't as good as previous models. :-(


I have applecare but seems ridiculous to replace the screen for a few scratches, and no actual cracks or brokenness. I believe Apple should recall the screens on these and offer free replacements with higher quality ones.
