    Apple Care won't fix deep scratch, should I crack my own screen?

    I have an iPhone 15 Pro Max and somehow managed to get a deep scratch bear the bottom of the front glass. I purchased Apple Care and took the phone in but they said it doesn't affect functionality so they won't fix it. While I understand why they can't fix every little scratch, this one is deep...
