Have been taking EXTREMELY good care of my 6+, but the corners already have visible scratches. Anyone else experiencing this?
iPhone 6 Plus, iOS 8
Just found this thread and thankful to find that I am not the only one with a scratch on my brand new gadget! I really do love my new iphone 6 plus but this mark down the middle is really disappointing. Like others I have had pretty much every generation of iphone and this is the first time I've had damage.

Oh, so in other words, if you don't have scratches, and you aren't whining about Apple's decline in quality (so say so many of you) you can't post in this thread? You don't have the right to censor anyone. You may not like what he had to say, but he had the right to say it.
And let's be realistic. This thread is nothing more than a pretty small group of people whining about scratches they've somehow managed to get on their phone. Realizing there are millions upon millions of iPhone 6/6+ in the real world, this thread is really not particularly representative of most people's experience. Posters in this thread may be sad to know they are statistically insignificant.
No one I know who has an iPhone 6 or 6+ has any scratches. I have a friend who works at the Apple Store, and yes, there have been a few people come in with some hairline scratches, there really haven't been many complaints.
It seems you folks are just fine with people coming and saying Apple ***** and Apple quality is awful. But you're objecting to another point of view? Really?

As long as the poster doesn't violate the Terms of Use, they may say what they like, even if you don't agree with it or think it has value. Feel free to ignore posters with whom you disagree
Best of luck.

Level 8? really?
You guys really believe deep inside of you that you are helping others coming here and saying the opposite, there are users here who really have a problem and you come and say : Me and my friends don't have one that must be only you, stop whining!, use a screen protector in the future problem solved, wow!.
It good to know some are still fine with their new iphone.
At least we know not all are rotten "apples".
We are here to share and see what can be done to improve.
It is frustrating enough for user who took care of the phone and yet see those scratches.
Till now with my 20 over friends who manage to get the latest 6 and 6+ iphones got 7 of them shared the same issue as me.
All will be answered "Cosmetic will not be covered by warranty".
We will not win Apple over it i believe...
Samsung so rich also can't win over the lawsuit haha..
Those like me will just get upset over why must we be the one who effected.
For those replaced by Apple is more fortunate than those who can't.
We who unable to change might only have 3 options.
Replaced it with a fees?
Live with it?
Trade off to other phones..
But i do really hope Apple will be more sincerely to look into it.
By stating it not a known issue is not responsible as there many topics over it.

^ NO this is not year 2011.
A technology called: "Gorilla Glass" was invented a few years ago you know....not present on Iphones 6 anymore apparently.
Generally you go forwards regarding technology not backwards.
Gorilla glass is not scratch proof and yes it's still used on iPhones as well as other brands like the Galaxy.
It just that we got a Gorilla glass which scratches more easily than others.
A Gorilla glass which can get scratches in empty clean pockets within weeks.
A Gorilla glass which without direct impact to get scratches.
A Gorilla glass which will get scratches in normal office or home environment.
This is the standard we must expect from a phone which i paid over thousands. Haha
I'd venture to say that those high level posters are somehow affiliated with Apple in some way.
How about we just ask them? Hey high level posters who keep parading your no scratch phones, are you affiliated with Apple? Are you in any way compensated for your presence on these forums?
Nahh we might be talking here about different Gorillas.
Has Apple stated that? link please?

I can tell you I am in no way, whatsoever connected with Apple. I'm a headhunter who works for one of the nations largest executive search firms. I get nothing for participating in this forum, except I do get pleasure from solving a problem for a user who has a problem that can can be solved. You want to know why some of us have so many points? Because over the years, we've spent countless hours offering assistance to people who need help. Maybe they can't connect to Wifi, or they can't remember their passcode, or any number of things that can actually be resolved. Since they don't have access to tech support from Apple, they come here and we help them. Oh how awful of us, right?
You see the issue here is none of us can help you if you have scratches on your phone. There's absolutely nothing we can do to change your situation. Maybe it makes you feel better to know there are others who also have scratches, but again, there's nothing anyone can do for you. If you want sympathy? OK. I'm sorry you have an issue. Do you feel better?
You have the following options:
1. Take your phone to Apple and see if they'll replace it.
2. If they won't, you can have the screen replaced for a fee
3. Try a screen protector, which will likely mask the scratches and help you avoid future ones
4. Sell your phone and buy something else if you can't live with the scratches
