iPhone 15 Screen Scratching Easily?

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

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."

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.

iPhone user since 3GS, and my iPhone 15 Pro is the first phone to scratch in 14 years of owning an iPhone.

My scratches can be felt, and they happen to be in an area I see a lot. I hope the next iPhone comes out with a more durable glass.

Same thing happened to my IPhone and Apple Watch. If you let someone else use your device, especially people with long fake nails, your IPhone can get scratched. It can also happen if you were wearing fake nails. If the scratch is small, you can buff it out with an eraser. If it is small, you can also put on a screen protector. Big scratches are something else, though. You may need help from third party companies, which will cost 50-300

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.

I told you when posted the same words above. Put a screen protector on your iPhone.

ive had my iPhone 15 less than a week and a new leather case with card holder in it and the cards have scratched the screen not good as ive had previously models ive had slide across concrete and not scratch like this.

You keep asking the question about what to do. You can certainly take your iPhone to your Apple Store and show it to them and they will tell you cosmetic issues are not warranty items. Then when your there, you can also do what I've told you twice now and pay Apple to install a screen protector on your iPhone. Apple has sold and installed screen protectors on every iPhone they've sold, going all the way back to iPhone 3.

There really isn't since at least the iPhone 7, independent tests have shown that again and again.

Always use a screen protector; if you don't want to use one, your screen will inevitably scratch.

That's the way things work in the premium smartphone world.

This is an old article, but it is still applicable:

The Verge: Why your brand-new smartphone will scratch just as easily as your old one

It's like only carrying liability coverage on a vehicle because you've never had a loss and for the first time in your life you get caught in a hail storm.

You don't have to use a screen protector, but then you as the customer have made the conscious decision to take that risk. 🤷‍♂️

Omigosh you guys I feel so seen! Yes, same. Four big deep scratches w/in months of owning. When NO big scratches on previous devices w/exact same treatment! Has anyone heard of any talk to address this issue? I'm mostly worried for how many more I will accumulate and what the trade in value will be when it comes time.

It's not delicate, rather you dropped it and it landed in a way to cause scratches.

If you're experiencing hangs, make an appointment to have your phone examined.

It's an issue that people spend so much for their phone and don't bother to spend an additional $30-$40 to protect the screen.

It's exactly like saying "I've been driving for twenty years and have never been in an accident, I don't need collision insurance" and then you get in an accident.

Independent tests have shown time and time again there is no issue with the screens.
