Iphone x screen

There are 2 places on my screen that look like there is scratcht over with sandpaper... it looks like that sinds day 4 i had it. I didn’t even put it in my poket yet. The rest of the screen is still fine after 3 months of usage... so i think there was no protective coat there or whatever? Now i read somewhere apple knows about this problem? And replaced the phones? Cane i get a replacemant?

It's glass, which is basically just melted sand. There are a lot of things that can scratch it. One is loose sand. Some people have been in conditions where there was loose sand blowing and found it had scratched.


Your only Apple-approved option would be to request new glass, and I believe the iPhone X requires the OLED display be replaced with it since it's kind of fused together.

It's gasoline, which is basically just dead dinosaurs.


A bit oversimplified, you should read the Steve Jobs biography, specifically the section on Gorilla Glass and what went in to getting it ready for the first iPhone.


The iPhone screen assembly has been a one piece unit for at least 4 generations. I've been in several situations where loose sand has been blowing and never had it scratch my screen. I've also had a number of windows that have never been scratched by blowing sand, lots of it. And I already mentioned getting it looked at by Apple.
