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?

iPhone 6 Plus, iOS 8

I also agree with the fact that there must be a flaw with the screens. I have had my iPhone 6 for a little over 7 months, and I have already had the screen replaced once. The first screen had absolutely no problems but needed replaced after an accident but did not become scratched prior to this. I have had the second screen fitted for just over 3 months and over this time the screen has through no fault of mine started showing these hairline scratches, which a deep enough to feel with your nail. I have never used a case or screen protector for any of my handsets since I owned my first iPhone 3GS. I feel that this is something that Apple need to acknowledge and fix.

New glass on the 6S. Do you think the problems will be resolve?


I'm still on an iPhone5 because I bought and returned 7, yes, *7* iphone6 and 6+ models (mostly space gray) because screens kept getting major scratches (the kind you can feel with a fingernail) for NO reason. They were never dropped (so a screen protector wouldn't have helped) nor placed in a pocket with keys. Only thing I can think of is they were caused by pressure from being in side jeans pockets when I was sitting or standing up.

Actually, the reason was they got scratched by something.

Glass cannot get scratched unless something rubs on it.

I'm the guy that return seven of these last year, mostly space gray for those scratches that occurred for no reason. I have had a 6+ space pray for nearly 2 days now and no issues yet.


And to the **** that keeps replying in it but it's impossible for this to happen without something physically scratch on the screen, I hope he loses all of his savings because you can't return defective products. What was causing the scratches was pressure from the phone being in the pocket, in other words, very slight natural bends and pressure. The glass was very weak on the last model. So far no issues this year but it's only been two days. I am saving my receipt and will return this phone if it happens again.


By the way, the class on my now three-year-old iPhone five is still Pristine.

You keep returned products that get scratched for no reason?

Are you crazy?

Do you know how much money you could make demonstrating this?


You have just debunked Newton's third law of motion!!

The first scratches where able to see on saturday - at this time the phone always lay on my desk and where carried in my living room..
After this i decided to put the original covering foil onto the Display.noticeable


Today i removed this foil and saw a lot of new scratches...
This surface of this display glas must be very smooth... In other news i read the problem wasn't noticiable at all iPhones 6 - so maybe its a production thing?
