Other If car keys were to tap or hit my iPhone screen would it crack the screen since iPhone screens are easily cracked?

Depending on the amount of force and contact, the screen could be scratched. Put keys in a separate pocket from the phone.
That and a screen protector wouldn’t hurt. But I’d still isolate an iPhone from other objects in a pocket.
Keys are relatively soft. You should worry about grit in the pocket instead (silicate crystals in household grit are a lot harder than keys, and quite capable of scratching Corning's glass or anyone else's).
Cracks are different from scratches, and of course a crack would be noticable. But it does require some force to crack a screen: a key simply coming in contact with the screen in a pocket won't crack it, but if you hit it hard enough with the key, of course it will.

I don’t use a case or screen protector. The iPhone goes in front left pocket only. And yes, after laundry I dump out lint and dirt from that pocket. If you throw iPhone or iPad in purse with everything else, it’s gonna get scratched.
If I was walking close to someone and they had their keys in their hand or dangling on their belt and the keys was to hit or touch my iPhone screen would it crack the screen and would I easily and definitely notice any cracks in the screen glass?
That’s an awfully specific scenario. Does this happen often? Lol
I think it would trigger a massive earthquake that would split the earth into many pieces and hurl us all into the sun.
OP,
All of your posts have been based on anxiety triggering OCD events. Are you under the care of a doctor for these types of things or are you just letting your imagination run wild and get the best of you?
Try and focus your mind on something besides your phone.

As somebody who has severe OCD and anxiety they don’t seem like they are in a good place. Should be looking at webmd instead of macrumors
Also if they are experiencing ocd and anxiety:
Its fine. There might be a slight scratch that’s unnoticeable. Take a deep breath.
The screen will likely shatter and you’ll get severely wounded. Also, the other person would explode. The resulting blood will cause liquid damage to all smartphones in a square mile.
Keys, they’re out to get ya.
I do see a psychiatrist, yes. But I've heard from many people that iPhone screens are easily cracked.
They aren’t easily cracked but, they will scratch. Put a screen protector on and you should be fine.
You don't detect sarcasm very well. A phone is just a phone, if you are worried then wrap it in bubble wrap several times over and duck tape it to your dominant hand.
Not at all. Just put on a Belkin Invisiglass screen protector and a drop face down onto gravel rocks might break the invisiglass, but probably not the screen. [I've done that.}
no It won’t crack your screen. seems Like you are worrying about scratches not cracks.
