iPhone 15 Screen Scratching Easily?

I had my iPhone 12 for all of this time without one scratch on the screen!

This is very annoying since I’m a very careful person.

The iPhone 15 glass is definitely more prone to scratches than previous older models.

Another Completely irrelevant point. Every person in this thread has pointed out their previous iPhones didn’t scratch at all and then how the 15 scratched immediately. And your unhelpful response is to tell us that Apple never said the previous phones wouldn’t scratch. Completely unhelpful and at this point it seems intentional

Sharing an experience isn’t complaining.

There are loads of things in pockets. Laundry soap crystalizes when it gets dried in a dryer. The world is full of sand and some can be in your pockets as well. To spend a lot of money on a phone and not spend a few dollars on a screen protector is just an unprotected screen waiting to be scratched. I would never keep my iPhone in my pants pocket.

Since cosmetic damage is not covered under iPhone warranty, put a decent screen protector on it, which will likely hide the scratch you've gotten and prevent future scratches.

Hi

Did anyone manage to get an update from Apple or are we all giving up and accepting that apple is bigger than their consumers and don’t care about the quality of their products.?

Apple thinks this is fine. 1600 bucks and they think the current structural integrity of the touchscreen is good enough. Kinda smug if you ask me.

Yes, I am also noticing scratches started occurring after a month of purchase even with very light usage and extra care. 12 13 were not having this issue. Titanium word used to mislead dear customers.

Good to know, no iPhone upgrade for me

Absolutely agree and I have no idea why someone is defending it even the real apple support has no words.

I did buy Apple Care+ or insurance by the way

Same here. I haven’t had every iPhone but I never use screen protectors and have never had a screen scratch this easily. There’s no way this is the same glass as the 14. I always expect micro scratches but not ones that catch on my fingers

I’ve had an iPhone 3G, 4, 5, 6, 7, XS, 12, and 14. Many of which I dropped multiple times caseless. Not once did I get a deep groove in the glass like this 15 has. Just an observation to share with the group. Again, marketing terms on the website don’t account for quality control. If this issue is wide spread, I’d like to make my experience known. Is that alright?

Just bought two iPhone 15 pros for myself and my wife. Both phones have deep scratches after only a few weeks without protection. Now after we installed protectors the view is already disturbed. Couldn’t be more disappointed

My own 15Pro256 scratched itself. I think it has a software bug because I don't understand how I could have scratched it in the first 2 hours when it was mostly charging and on the couch. I've had iPhones since the second generation. I have an XS for 5 years, and it fell off a motorbike at 80km/h without getting scratches. I think this one is made of plastic or something cheap anyway."

I have been using the new 15 for 1 day and noticed a scratch already when I went to put the screen protector on. It’s small, but obvious, and I have literally been using it while sitting on the couch for most of the day (Christmas afternoon/ evening) and stuck it in the pocket of a pair of sweatpants when I took my son to the doctor. One day, no drops or putting it on any hard surfaces, and already more scratches than the XR I just upgraded from after 5 years- and bought pre-owned!

Apple is not using an inferior screen in the iPhone 15 series and neither have your pant's fabric crystallized 😂. Unlike your 11, the 15 series is using a Ceramic Shield front display panel which means its will be a lot more difficult to break as it’s more shatter resistant. More shatter resistance however means it scratches more easily as the display is ‘stiffer or firmer’ compared to your 11s display. Hope this response eased your concerns and enjoy your 15.
