Yes, muguy and Bob are correct. Scratches are considered cosmetic and are not covered by the standard Apple Warranty or Apple Care unless they affect the performance of the product.


I’m a former Apple Store manager and have discussed the matter with many customers over the years. I know it’s disappointing, especially when a device is new. My best advice is purchase a screen protector and many times it hides the scratches and you can’t even see them.
