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?

Well I just got back from a "Genius" appointment.
Showed the chap the phone and explained the problem.
He says "oh dear, yeah cosmetic damage is not covered under the warranty".
I show him my 4s and five year old touch, which have very few scratches. I ask why my 6 is so susceptible to scratches.
He said, "I've had an iPhone 6 for a week too and mine doesn't have any scratches".
I pointed out that maybe his doesn't have the same production fault as mine.
"sorry, cosmetic damage is not covered by the warranty"
I lost my patience around then and left"
I hope anyone else who tries gets a more intelligent response.
It seems the official response is to blame the customer.
Im absolutely disgusted!
He gave you a very intelligent response. Cosmetic damage has never been covered under Apple's warranty.
Why did you not put the iPhone into a case or use a screen protector?

4 day old iPhone 6 screen already scratched d

Is apple
planning on doing a recall/replacement on the iPhone 6 screen? My phone is 4 Days sold and alreafy has a giant scratch in the middle of the screen despite extra care and cover. Had my 5S for over 1 1/2 yr. and never had this issue. Very upset

It's not good but then it's not strictly a warranty claim as cosmetic issues with scratches doesn't make the phone faulty. Apple have never allowed a warranty claim for cosmetic damage. This is to be expected given the things halfwits do to phones and then try a 'free' repair. We had one here where the punter dropped the phone 2 floors off the balcony in a shopping centre, on to concrete and then demanded a new phone as the original was 'too flimsy' for normal use.... I have cosmetic damage with every Samsung phone I've ever had, using it for work gets it battered to hell in short order. The only option being a hard case. It sounds hard but pay the €100 for a new screen and invest in stick on screen protectors and a flip case?

IPhone 4: yellow screens, easily scratched, & low bars when handling...

My 8-hour-old-iPhone-4 doesn't have any these... Has anyone seen these issues?

My phone has camera problems... the lens won't open (even after multiple restore and resets).

Is thr ipad 2 screen easily scratched?

Iphone 5 black easily scratched

Hi
When i bought my iphone a month ago, i noticed one scuff right out the box but i didn't make a big deal. It wasn't really noticable but now i can see at least 4 scuffs, all on the edge. It's kind of weird since it's always in my pocket or on my desk sitting on a cleaning cloth
What do you think i can do? Apple store is 2 hours away and i don't think the carrier would exchange it after 1 month

I have never used a case on my iphones and see no need to do so.
I don't know your needs.

Iphone 6 screen scratches very easily, just by normal use. Anyone else? What is Apple doing about it! It shouldn't be like that, it is way more fragile than Iphone 5 and 5S screeens!

I disagree. That is the problem with 'opinions'.

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 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.

I just bought iPhone 5c. Looking for LifeProof case. Does Nuud will protect my screen from scratches and shatter? Or should I go with Fre?

Thank you for suggestions.

Have a look at this comparison from the manufacturer.

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.

Do IPhone 6 screens crack easily?

I have an IPhone 6 with a cracked screen. The phone still works, and I don't want to be without it and have to mail it in for repair. Can't get through to my local pole store: Does anyone know if local Apple support centers are fixing cracked IPhone 6 screens?

We have no idea where you live. You'll have to call them yourself and find out.

Screen too soft..easily scratches?

I have had my Sony Xperia Tablet Z now for just a few weeks. It's my first tablet after many years of owning smart phones. I have never needed a screen protector on any of my devices. The standard materials used on my devices have always coped with my normal use and not resulted in any noticeable permanent scratch marks on their screens.
It is with utter disappointment that I noticed this morning that my Sony Tablet Z, after just 3 weeks of careful use, has permanent scratches all over the screen surface . I noticed these by holding the tablet at an angle to a light source while switched off.
My real concern is that I have so many scratches after careful handling and only 3 weeks of use, the tablet hasn't even left the house yet. I paid for the confidence that comes with the Sony brand having owned many Sony products over the years and found them to be durable and reliable and built using quality materials. That confidence has been damaged now since I believe the material used for the screen on this tablet to be too soft to cope with normal use where other devices from other manufacturers have coped just fine.
I have heard that the glass screen is scratch resistant but that Sony place a soft film over the top holding the Sony logo which is not resistant. Is this true? If so, is it possible to remove it to expose the hard durable glass surface underneath?
I am intending to return the product and get a replacement and buy the screen protector, but this will be the first device i have owned that has needed this and in my opinion something Sony need to review to improve product quality. Since most smart phone and tablets come with gorilla glass (or equivalent) as standard I assumed this was the case.. it sadly appears not and looks like a screen protector is an absolute must for this device.
I would be interested to hear if others have experienced screen damage after just a few weeks of normal use too?
There are also major supply issues in the UK for accessories for this tablet as of July 2013. I ended up leaving the tablet behind on a business trip to Switzerland because I was unable to source a case for it in the UK only to find that a Sony Centre in Switzerland had plenty in stock. No screen protectors were available either.
Other than that and a few YouTube lockups I have found the tablet to be meeting and exceeding all my expectations. Just wish Sony had put gorilla glass on it.

Sorry to hear that you've got scratches on your tablet.
The display on the tablet uses the same solution as most of our phones, a scratch-resistant glass with an anti shatter film (ASF) on top. The ASF is made of plastic and is not as scratch-resistant as the glass.
I do not recommend that you remove the ASF (doing so would also void the warranty for the display and the ASF can't be replaced). It's recommended that you put a screen protector on top of the ASF.
I've tried to scratch my tablet using my fingernails but even though i press so hard that my fingers hurt it doesn't leave a mark. You must have really strong fingernails

Defective Iphone 6 screens?

Can anyone tell me if there is a defect in Iphone 6 screens?
I have had this phone all of 4 days and it is broken! It did not survive a 2 foot impact from a 32g spice bottle. I do not understand how there are videos showing the screen surviving hammers, waist and head high drops! I feel so deceived thinking this product was going to be better than the 4S that I upgraded from. (long story but the 4S survived 2 years without a scratch to the screen.. dropped numerous times) I checked the apple services and they want me to charge me 297 euros (we are in France) to mail-in a repair.

I have a similar story - 3 day old iPhone 6 screen broke after falling 30cm from my pocket while i tied my shoelace. - bizarrely, a 45 degree crack 1cm in from each of 3 corners and also a large diagonal crack. The phone was bought to replace a 3 year old 4S whose screen had just broken... 3 years versus 3 days - seems like Apple are trying to generate revenue for themselves. This is by far and away the most disappointed I have been with a new Apple product, and I have been buying apple products for nigh on 28 years...
So, Apple employs ghosts that go around and knock iPhones out of people's hands?
Did you have the iPhone in a protective case?
Did you purchase AppleCare Plus for the device?
I love this kind of logic. Apple makes more profit from the iTunes/App Store than they do from iPhone sales. Broken iPhones can't use the iTunes/App Store. There is literally no incentive for Apple to make phones that 'break easily'.

My iphone 4s' screen is black, but it's still on and charging. I broke my lock screen button so I am unable to turn it off using the home button and lock button. Is there any other way my phone can restart or turn off ? Is my phone broken for sure?

Most intelligent people would not store such sensitive data on a device that could so easily be lost, stolen, or damaged. Even if they chose to do so, they would use the device as designed and regularly sync and backup that device as described in the User's Guide.
Have you done so? If you have, all of the data is either in iCloud or iTunes on your computer. Replace the device and restore the new iDevice with the backup of the old one.

My Iphone 6 Screen has been bugging Please Help

My Iphone 6 Screen has been bugging out lately it bounces up and down and just gets really blurry. Does anyone know how to fix this?

Hi,
By "Bounces up and Down", do you mean this:
The content of the screen drops down and about a third of the top of the screen is blank.
When you press the home button or any icon, the content moves back to the top of the screen.
If this is what you are seeing, it is intentional. It is meant as a way for you to be able to easily reach the icons at the top row of the screen.
Double tap the home button. Do not press the button, just lightly tap it.
All the content should drop down.
Pressing the home button or any icon will shift the content back up again.
This is a new feature designed for the larger screens in the 6 and 6+.
