iPhone 15 Screen Scratching Easily?

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.

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.

I’ve had five different iPhones of the course of the last 10 years. No screen protectors, no scratches, ever. I’ve had the iPhone 15 for three months and have five independent scratches. This is clearly a worse screen material than previous iPhones. What’s the solution here? this is terrible.

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.

I’m on my second 15 pro. The first one fell 2ft from my pocket onto a carpeted floor and shattered the screen after a few weeks. The second has scratches all over the screen from normal, light daily use (never dropped, tossed in a bag, etc.). Never had such a poor quality device from Apple. Very disappointed and dissatisfied with this phone.

Exact the same, bad experience with 15Pro Max. I have been using 5 iphones and many Androids in the past without the screen protection. for 1-2 year normal daily use with sometime dropped I never got big scracth.

but with 15 pro max, just 1 day carry in the pocket together with eyeglasses and got deep scratch (can feel with finger nail) a 10 mm long !! so surprise such a weak surface for 1000USD price!! so disappoiting.

Hello~ What? I have a screen protector which doesn’t restrict or alter content displayed on every device I own. Thank goodness I was smart enough to apply them. Look back through this thread for there are 13 pages of solutions.

It’s just been a month I bought 15pro max , n started using it since past just 20 days , today it fell for the first time and had few scratches on it so weird , I have used 12 pro max , and in 3 years of usage it had fallen several times , I had used it roughly but never had any complaints, but iPhone15 pro max , is quite delicate, and hangs while I am typing , weird it’s new still hangs and works slow

I owned the iPhone 12 Pro Max for almost 3 years. The ceramic coating seemed to work flawlessly for 2 years and it only started to pick some small scratches towards the third year. My 15 Pro Max is already scratched a lot more severely than the old phone and I do take care of my stuff. This is horrendous!

The same here and for my friend. We both have the iPhone 15 Pro and within weeks, we each feel small scratches. I had already taken mine to have the camera lens replaced due to dust somehow entering the enclosure days after purchase. Coming from an XR, it is a decent upgrade, but the XR, until I traded it in, never had a scratch!

There are lots of people who have never had a car accident in their lives and get into one within hours of driving their first brand new car off the lot.

Things happen, which is why to always use a screen protector.

I have a 15 Pro Max and it is the easiest phone to scratch I have ever had. Lots of little scratches, many you can feel with a fingernail. I have had many iPhones before (a 4s, 6s, 10 and 12 Pro Max, 13, 14, SE2, SE3, oh and 11 PM), what the **** is going on, is Apple going to do anything?

I always put a case on when I buy a phone and I have used screen protectors in the past, on my 4s and my 10. Surely this is a problem?!?

My last upgrade, the iPhone XS, is doing better after 5,5 years than the 15 after a couple of months, no kidding. The 15's screen was already covered in minor scratches after 2 weeks of usage, and today I took it out of my suit pocket—a fat ugly scratch in the centre of the screen. How? You can't even resell this anymore. I wonder what will be left of the phone after a year.

Cosmetic damage isn’t covered by AppleCare+ either. So best opt for a screen protector.
