IPhone 4s screen can't be scratched

I've got an iPhone 4s like 6 months ago. I protect my screen with a screen protector, but my friends told me that iPhone's screen can't be scratched, its this true?

Of course it's not true. It's made of glass. No matter how hard the glass is, it can be scratched.
As a practical matter, I never use screen protectors and I've had iPhones since the original in '07. I've never had scratches on the screen.

  • Can I replace an iphone 5 screen that is slightly scratched?

    Is there any way for me to replace an iphone 5 screen? 

    Apple does not repair iPhones, but will replace the entire iPhone for a flat fee. If you have AppleCare+ coverage, the cost will low; in the US it's $49. If you do not have AppleCare+ on your iPhone, see the Service Pricing section here:
    http://www.apple.com/support/iphone/service/faq/
    There are independent iPhone repair services that may be able to do the repair for less than Apple's out-of-warranty charge. Do a web search for "iPhone repair". Note, though, that if you elect to have the iPhone serviced by an unauthorized shop, all further warranty and support from Apple will be voided.
    Regards.

  • Iphone 4s screen scratching easily

    i had my iphone 4s for only a few days and the screen is already scratched in multiple spots.. is anyone else having this issue? My family members have had theirs in pockets purses for over a year without any scratches.. I didn't keep my keys in the same pocket and somehow managed to scratch it... is the iphone 4s screen more susceptible to scratches? is this something i can bring up under warranty? or just considered wear and tear.

    We took the iphone in and we were told that if it’s cosmetic damage it isn’ttheir problem regardless of the circumstances and if we wanted the glass replaced it would be their standard replacement charge (I think this was around£140). When we argued that the screen coating could be at fault and asked if they had seen this before the genius said that it wasn’t possible for the glass to be faulty. We then asked if this means that the failure rate on the glass, and the phone, was 0% and he just repeated that it wasn’t possible for it to be faulty.
    We also reported that the length of time the battery lasted was much lower than the old phone and he said it was because there were apps running in the background and that was the only cause that it could possibly have. He then wenton to give us a lecture, which lasted at least 5 minutes, as to how a battery, like anything electronic, is like a car engine and takes a long time to get up to full power. This was only a few days before the admission that there was a battery life issue because of the software bug.
    There were also an issue with the sim where the phone would come up with "Sim Failure" every hour or so and the phone would require a reset. Whilst this was displayed the phone couldn’t receive any calls or texts until it was reset. The genius said that the only cause for this would be a faulty sim and that there was no way the phone was at fault and to contact the network because it wasn’t apples problem.
    After trying a new sim, the problem got worse and apple did replace the phone but only after they were told that the network wanted it to be replaced.So my other half has a completely new iphone (with no scratches so far!) but only after getting the backing of the network with a major fault. Safe to say we were not impressed with either the customer service or the patronising nature of the genius.

  • Iphone 6 screen broke

    Hello
    Ive just bought iphone6 one week ago and droped from 50cm to floor and lcd broke, it shouldnt be thet easy to break for such a phone, apple sacrifise from quality while still selling for a high price if so apple shold replace the screen without a charge.

    Sorry, but broken screens have never been included in the warranty by Apple. But since the iPhone 5 screens can be replaced, instead of having to pay for replacing the whole unit.
    Screen repair service pricing
    Repair and replacement costs depend on your iPhone model and your AppleCare product coverage. Apple will run a diagnostic test to determine whether your iPhone has experienced additional damage. If it has, or if it needs other repairs, you may need to pay an out-of-warranty service fee. Accidental damage isn't covered under the Apple One Year Limited Warranty.

  • Scratched the iPhone 4 screen with a rock, now I have rainbow lines

    So I had the iPhone 4 in the same pocket with a rock, don't ask why. A few mins later, I horrifically realized this, and took the iPhone out. My worst fear had been realized, as it had scratches all along the lower part of the screen. Now, when the screen is on and I'm looking at something which is one or two colors, I can see rainbow lines caused by the scratches. They are really bothersome, and they are making me real sad.
    So what should I do? Anyone got a solution? Or am I screwed?
    Thanks!

    There is one risk. Apple may not replace the glass at no cost.
    They can still replace scratched material for you on the TOS guideline.
    Read section b II of the contract where they don't enlist in self help repair service or non apple service work done. It also says no accidents but don't say that.

  • Will the iPhone 4S' screen scratch?

    Will it scratch? Basically I have a screen protector which is very oily and has lots of air bubbles, Im worried if the phone will scratch easily, also my friends have iPhone's?iPod's?iPad's and nothing ever happened to theirs but I would rather have a better opinion.

    I have gone without a screen protector for a few weeks now and still no scratches.  I use an otterbox commuter case without a screen protector.
    I put it in my front pocket without anything else in the same pocket.  "regular glass" isn't easily scrached by copper, iron, clay, etc.  quartz sand will scratch "regular" glass though.  Since we don't know exactly what kind of strengthened glass the iphone uses, we can't be too sure about what won't scratch it.  But one rule for all scratching... the harder the pressure applied - the more likely a scratch will occur.

  • IPhone black screen does not show anything, but I can hear that the device works. I hear the lock open the screen and hear the iPod but the screen remains black

    IPhone black screen does not show anything, but I can hear that the device works. I hear the lock open the screen and hear the iPod but the screen remains black!!

    It's happened to me before as well. Try holding both lock(top right) and home buttons simultaneously until u see a slight flash of wight then just reboot it normally. If that doesn't work try restoring your device from itunes

  • If my iPhone 5 has a cracked screen, can I still trade it in for the iPhone 6?

    If my iPhone 5 has a cracked screen, can I still trade it in for the iPhone 6?
    I know there is the promotion to trade in for a free iPhone 6, but will Verizon take a cracked phone?
    I would hope at the least to still get a discount if not a straight up trade.
    Appreciate any info if anyone knows.

    You can get an appraisal for your phone here https://www.trade-in.vzw.com/home.php5
    I think to get the best price towards an iPhone 6 you have to have the appraisal submitted and new phone ordered by tomorrow (9/30/14) You buy the new phone on contract price then they email you a Verizon gift card after they receive your phone and make the final decisions on how much to give you. (Suppose to take 2 weeks after mailing old phone in)

  • My iPhone 4s screen is cracked and can't slide to unlock it.  Several of the icons are not working as well.  Is there a way to recover my photos if the phone has never had a back up or synced with another device?

    My iPhone 4s screen is cracked (due to being dropped) and I can't slide to unlock it.  Several of the the icons on screen will not work either.  Is there a way to recover my photos if the phone has never had a back up and never been synced with another device?

    No in order to backup to iTunes, you would need to unlock your phone.
    In order to import pics to your computer you would need to unlock your phone.

  • My iPhone 5 screen smashed and apple did not repair it a phone shop did and now 6 month on my phone has completely broke  can apple repair it if I paid the cost of the bill

    MY iPhone 5 screen smashed ages ago and I got a normal phone shop to repair it and that was 6 month ago my battery and the mother board is broken can apple repair this if I was to pay the bill and not asking them to cover anything

    No. By having an unauthorized service shop open your phone you have forefited ALL service (both in and out of warranty) from Apple. Apple will never again touch that phone. Take it to the same "shop" that repaired it before.

  • My iphone 5 screen needs to be turned on and off twice before I can slide the screen to unlock it.

    My iphone 5 screen needs to be turned on and off twice (hit the top button or home button, then turn off the screen again, then hit one of the buttons again) before I can slide the screen to unlock it. Also, when I was using it yesterday, the volume on my music was sliding up and down by itself, it clicked on albums by itself and wouldn't register my touch, the song kept pausing and playing by itself, and when I backed out of the app, all my running apps started sliding back and forth across the screen as if I were running my finger back and forth extremely fast. It also then opened the phone app, started to call one of my contacts, and wouldn't let me hang up. My phone is relatively new (got it back in June) and I haven't dropped my phone at all, haven't gotten it wet, etc... The only thing I've done to it recently is install iOS7. Does anyone know why this is happening and how I can fix it?

    Took my phone to the Apple store this week and they told me it was a hardware/screen malfunction. They replaced the screen for free since it was under warranty. Now it works fine again!

  • My iphone 4s' screen in broken, without dropping it.it just went hazy white to dark green and i can no longer see my screen, can i have a screen replacement?

    My iphone 4s' screen is broken. I haven't dropped it or anything, or else it must've shown through its physical appearance. It just went into hazy white and green and now i cannot use it. Can i have a replacement for it? Thanks

    Apple doesn't replace the screen, they replace the entire phone.  If you've tried the basics (restart, reset, restore from backup, restore as new) and your screen is still broken, bring it to Apple for replacement.  If you're not in the warranty period, you will pay $199 for the replacement.
