iPhone 6 screen easily scratched?

Have been taking EXTREMELY good care of my 6+, but the corners already have visible scratches. Anyone else experiencing this?

I Got my iPhone 6 plus, last Sunday, Feb 8, 2015. I used it for a few days and haven't noticed any scratching but I was reading this thread and got worried so I bought a glass screen protector im now using. I much prefer the actual glass of the screen. I have always hated screen protectors and never used them on any of my previous iPhones ( 3GS, 4S and 5 ). Anyway I was wondering if anybody knows if the scratching issue was only with early production models. I obviously got s much later production model and was wondering if mine would still have this issue?

The issue is on my iPhone 6 that I bought in September 2014 and iPhone 6 Plus I bought in January 2015 (both Space Gray), so I don't see that anything has changed. The coating on the screen scratches easily. Be careful with the iPhone.

I had an iPhone 5S that is no where near indestructible. In fact I have never seen an indestructible smart phone. It is all in the treatment.

Exactly. These claims of "just out of the box new" iPhone 5s seems not very likely to me. Both our iPhone 5 after two years had hairline scratches all over the screens. It never detracted from real world use and could only be seen when the screen was off and at certain angles and lighting situations, but scratches none-the-less. This is why this time around I chose to put a good quality glass screen protector on both our iPhone 6.

IPhone 6 spacegrey, buyed 10/2/2015 after 6 days i notice a big scratch in the center of the screen, very disappointed about that, I wil send it back to Apple until they send me a phone without this problem. The other one I buyed the day one (spacegrey too) don't have this issue (but have another problem, home button sometimes don't work).

I Love Apple but this iPhone 6 is very poor quality.

That is 'bought' not 'buyed'.

After 5 years of heavy use and no screen cover, my Moto 800+ never had a scratch.

And after 2 years of heavy use and no screen cover, my Samsung S4 never had a scratch.

Then I bought 2 iPhone 6+ for me and my wife, because everyone said iPhone is the best cellphone.


Because iPhone 6+ is expensive, so we took care of them. But I still saw scratch on my screen and my wife's screen. So disappointed.
