XS Max screen easy to scratch

Is anyone else finding that their xs max has a very soft screen? I already have a bunch of hairline scratches on my new iphone. I baby my devices and yet within a couple of weeks my screen is full of marks.

I have a year old 8plus that I have used for the last year and it looks like brand new. I never use screen protectors as I am super careful, yet my new phone looks like it is 3 years old. I upgrade yearly and this is the first time I have had visible marks like this in several years.

Anyone else having this same issue?

iPhone XS Max, iOS 12.0.1

I have the same issue with my XS. I compared my 2 week ownership of the XS to 9 months with the X. The X actually looks better than the XS scratch wise. Never use a screen protector and never have. This is my first real issue with scratching. Keys always on the right phone on the left. To be fair though i think it’s a lot of me to ask apple to do something over cosmetic scratches. I could see the nightmare they would face with everyone bringing a phone back scratched. However i do believe something has changed on the glass between the X and Xs. Maybe making it less likely to crack has made it more susceptible to scratches?
