iPhone 15 Screen Scratching Easily?

What does the charging brick not coming in the box have to do with your phone scratching? Also, so sick of people posting talking about the price of the phone. Its 1,000 bucks and...

Didn't you know spending lots of money buys you perfection? ;-)

I have had my base model 15 since launch, and it is having a similar issue, the only difference is, is that I’ve had a screen protector on since day one. One thing I might try is a combination of a liquid glass solution as well as a screen protector to prevent further damage. I will update once tried.

(liquid glass is a chemical solution applied to a device that’s supposed to make it more durable after a UV cure)

WRONG! I have NEVER used any screen protector and my previous iphones NEVER got any scratches of any kind. In less than 24 hours, my new iphone 15 pro max has hairline scratches on the glass from being in my back pocket, which is where my iphone 11 spent the last 4 years, along with the other phones. I still have all the phones. NO SCRATCHES of any kind.

I deeply regret purchasing an iPhone 15. I was excited about getting a new phone, but this phone just made me sad. It’s so incredibly disappointing to spend $1600 on a device for it to end up being so pathetic. I wonder if all iPhone 5s have a screen with such poor structural integrity. Or if, possibly, there’s a bad batch of them.

Same the case this side. I used 12 pro for 2 and half years and it is still scratchless, and note that I never used any screen protector even for a day. On the other hand, It is just 2 weeks for me with my new 15 pro max and despite being extremely careful i found one scratch on my screen. Looking at the experience of the people, I strongly feel that there is something wrong with the material quality.

If you are curious to know why i didn't go for screen protector?

Having the experience of 12 pro’s robust screen , i thought apple would have maintained the same level of quality at the least and hence i didn’t go for any protection except for the back cover.

Really disappointed!!! Am not sure if apple is listening and if they are taking notice of such serious issues.

They were actually correct. However, it always pays to keep in mind that there are people in this forum from many different cultural and linguistic backgrounds. Unless a grammatical, spelling, type or usage mistake (which this was not) makes it impossible to understand, it's kindest to just let it go.

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.”

I do not use screen protector but using a phone case so when I have a phone in the pocket then is protected. Even that after one month screen has a scratches. Very disappointed that it is so soft. . iPhone 15 pro max

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!!!!

Yup it’s an absolutely joke. I’ve owned every iPhone since the 3rd generation and this phone scratches so much easier than any model I’ve ever had.

hopefully you have Apple care because I’m gonna have to replace my screen for the second time without ever dropping the phone.

You think Apple would care but they don’t.

Hello~ Well…just saying that I put a screen protector on before I even set up my iPhones and I have never had a scratch either. Seems like a pretty sensible thing to do to me. I also put on a back glass protector to spread the load of a drop, camera protector and a high quality case. My iPhone is in pristine condition.

Take a polishing cloth and rub the screen. There is a coating on the screen that resists the oil from your fingers, and it can look like scratches. A cloth like one used for cleaning eyeglasses is a good choice.
