iPhone 15 Screen Scratching Easily?

No, traditional English grammar is “an” before a word that begins with “h”. But it is debated among grammarians based on whether the first syllable is stressed or not. So depending on which grammar guide you read either could be correct.

And it's also perfectly fine to use the phrase without any article.

That is an oversimplification. Please read my post that you responded to. As just one example where that is not true is “an hero”, which is the correct accepted usage. And the jury is out on “a history” or “an history”. Here are some links for guidance that have other examples:

https://english.stackexchange.com/questions/896/when-to-use-an-and-when-to-use-a-with-words-begining-with-h

While your suggestion covers the most common situations and won’t get you into trouble, there is disagreement among grammarians, as I said in my first post.

Those examples prove the rule, not the exception. The h in “hero” is pronounced, which is why we say “a hero”, not “an hero.” And even in the links you provided it states that “an history” would not be correct. And again, the rule applies to the pronunciation of the word (i.e., dialects where “historic” is pronounced as “‘istoric”). Will there be an occasional exception? Like every other rule for the English language, yes, of course. But “an” in front of a word like “heart” would never be considered correct, unless you’re from a part of the world where it’s pronounced as “art” instead of “heart.”

you are contradicting yourself, you stated in another comment that apple has been using the same glass formula for the past 3 years and then you come on to say that the glass formula on 15 is easier to scratch but difficult to break ? So how is it the same ?

you keep mentioning to spend a few more bucks and get a screen protector so why not just put a cheap screen and put a high quality screen protector, with that argument, there was no need for more durable titanium body, use the cheapest material for the body and just get a high quality case to cover it. Is it really high quality when it needs additional protection all around. To be honest it seems like you haven’t used many iPhones, you mentioned to someone that they were lucky because their previous phones didn’t get scratches, no it just seems those screens were better. Try iPhone 13pro if you have one, the screen doesn’t get scratches easily and it doesn’t even break easily.

I am extremely disappointed to already see scratches on my 20 day old iPhone 15 Pro. The iPhone XS Max that I turned in, although ancient, had no scratches and never had a screen protector. I now have an amFilm Screen Protector but cannot use the lens protectors because the ESR Hybrid Case with Stash Stand will not close with the protectors.

Will the lenses scratch as easily as the primary screen?

I have had my 15 pro max for 5 days and it already has several scratches etched on the screen. My old 11 that I’ve used for years has NONE! Not one scratch. WTH, Apple? Very frustrating! You should have a warning about this!!!!

I am still going strong with my iPhone 13 Pro Max with original screen, no screen protector from day one and zero scratches still to this day - screen looks brand new - Apple can claim whatever they want on paper but if people experience otherwise…just saying.

Hello~ My iPhone is absolutely beautiful and how heavy could a screen protector and my extras be? I didn’t dip it in concrete. I personally think all this complaining is much ado about nothing. Complain to Apple below as they get paid to listen to it…

Have a nice day!! :D

I am just noticing tiny scratches on my brand new iPhone 15. I don’t understand as I am always very careful. I am in my 70s and this was a present and don’t know what to do next. I am feeling not so bad after seeing so many people saying the same thing, what do we do now.

I really am at a loss for words. My beautiful new iPhone 15 which I have hardly used seems to have scratches over it. I am 70 years of age and this was a present. I have had iPhones and iPads since beginning. I met Steve jobs and Sir Jonathan Ives in the car park at Cupertino the year the iPad came out. I have photo to prove it. I love Apple products and so sad about these scratches. What do we do.

Noticed the exact same thing.

I've had 6, 6S, 6S Plus, 8, XS, now 15 Pro Max.

NONE of them had screen protector.. I felt secure by the quality of the gorilla glass..

This new 15PM has never had metal or hard touches ever.. I haven't even dropped it once and my last phones have been dropped many many times and had keys in they have never had a scratch!

I have had iPhones and iPads as a matter of fact I was in Cupertino when iPad came out and met Steve jobs and Sir Jonathan gives in car park at Cupertino have photo to prove . I love love Apple products and this is the first time I can’t believe the scratches on screen of my new iPhone 15. I am 70 years old just got iPhone unboxed been no where. Treated phone with care as you would then saw all these thread scratches over screen. Must admit I just about cracked up myself . Now I am wondering if this will come to light. Who knows. Never never have any of my iPhones or iPads ever shown scratches. What to do now - do we just accept it.

Perhaps because the Android you were using came with a screen protector pre-applied; Apple believes users are smart enough to purchase and apply one themselves or have the Apple Store staff apply one and don't need to charge buyers for one they may choose to replace.

I’ve never had this problem and expect the same if not better quality as iPhones progress. Spending this much money on a phone that clearly has a problem with screen integrity is unacceptable. As I’m clearly not the only one who is having this issue.
