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 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'.

  • HT201263 Problem is a black screen. I have tried all the recommendation from the support article, however the iPhone 4 screen still remains black

    Hi, My wife has developed a problem overnight after charging her phone. The Problem is a black screen. I have tried all the recommendation from the support article, however the iPhone 4 screen still remains black

    Take the iPhone to an Apple store genius bar for testing, and if it is defective and under warranty they will replace.  Since you say iPhone 4, was this a used or refurbished iPhone? 

  • How much £ dose the iphone 3gs screen cost

    how much £ dose the iphone 3gs screen cost

    At my Apple Store they still will replace the iPhone 3GS front screen assembly for $99 US. In UK it will be a lower number in £. See if your Apple Store does this. At worst you are looking at a perfect Replacement iPhone 3GS for £ 126.44 at UK Apple Store. Make Genius reservation first to avoid long wait.

  • 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.

    It does...  I saw a photo of the relevant slide that was put up during the iOS 6 announcement, but am too lazy to look for it now.
    It's possible it may not have made it into the final release. Apple never made any statements about it as far as I know beyond the slide referenced.
    Near the end of the iOS portion of the keynote, Apple showed a slide listing a host of other features included in the iOS 6 update. Among those were Game Center challenges, the ability to connect Game Center friends from Facebook, VoiceOver improvements, personal dictionary in iCloud (for adding your own terms to the dictionary, which can sync between devices), and per-account signatures in Mail. Also on the list was improved privacy, which—as a new option in Settings—will let you control which apps can access which bits of personal data, like your Contacts, Calendar, or Photos. Other features on the list included autocorrection for every keyboard,Bluetooth MAP support (which is commonly used to help cars better offer hands-free communication with Bluetooth devices), kernel ASLR (which aims to make data even more impervious to snooping from malicious attackers), custom vibrations for alerts, redesigned stores (for the App and iTunes stores), IPv6 support for Wi-Fi and LTE, word highlights for speak selection, improved keyboard layouts, alarms with songs, and faster JavaScript in Safari. Apple also says iOS 6 includes a global HTTP proxy option, which would supplant the current approach, limited as it is to per-connection proxy settings."

  • Will the iPhone 4s still be supported until 2016?

    Will the iPhone 4s still be supported by Apple until 2016? What I mean by supported is that if it is still going to be on Apple's website?
    1. Until when will the iPhone 4s be supported by Apple? Because I remember before that the 3GS was still on Apple's website when it was already 2012.
    2. Is the iPhone 4 still supported? Because I can still see in the App Store that in the requirements they still say iPhone 4 and above
    3. Will iOs 8 support the 4s when it gets released in the future?
    Thanks!

  • Will the iphone 5s support talk and data simultaneously?

    Will the iphone 5s support talk and data simultaneously?  Didn't hear anything about it so just want to confirm.

    No.
    (I'd put the link up but I think Verizon would delete/edit my post).
    From a New York Time's piece, "It was Apples decision to design the iPhone 5 so that customers could only make voice calls and do Internet activity simultaneously only over Wi-Fi, not over Verizon cell network."
    The reason why...
    "The explanation for this, it turns out, is complicated. The technology  in 4G LTE networks does not currently handle voice transmissions; it  only does data. So when you place a phone call on a 4G LTE smartphone,  it’s actually rolling back to the carrier’s older second- or  third-generation network, according to AnandTech, a Web publication that  does deep analysis on hardware."

  • Will the iphone ever be available to a CDMA wireless network like Verizon

    will the iphone 3g ever be opened up to more than gsm network, possibly verizon which uses cdma and carries a much larger 3g coverage area than at&t ever dreamed of? i welcome any opinions or hear say, but would love a possible official apple rep answer. thanks

    HSPA which the iPhone 3G(S) has which will be leading to LTE, part of my reason to switch to the 3G(S) was because I read the 3G wont be supporting the 7.2 coming out next from AT&T. The phone has the capability but wont be able to "handle" it without consuming an extreme amount of power. AT&T will be boosting the 850Mhz band (the lower bands give way to better signal strength inside buildings) to 7.2 and from 7.2 to 21.
    AT&T has already signaled its next two moves. It expects to jump to 21 Mbps after 7.2 Mbps, and has a fourth-generation (4G) standard called Long Term Evolution or (LTE) in the wings that promises 50 to 100 Mbps of raw speed. There’s no date for 21 HSPA, but AT&T plans to have trials of LTE in place by late 2010 and commercially available service in 2011
    As for Verizon, I cant see Apple allowing Verizon to trash the phone with their crapware. I for one dont want some sort of red theme anything on my phone.
