If two major you-tubers notice the 11's scratch much more easily....than something is different and the claim is legitimate. I could turn this around on you and say you're way to retentive, and that is why your phone is still pristine...but I would not know that for sure. So, its not fair to ascribe the issue to someone's bad habits.
I agree with you. I'm not making the claim that the screen doesn't scratch more easily than previous versions. I'm saying the cause of the scratched screens are bad habits.
Some bad habits include...
- setting phone face down on desk (many people do this) and sometimes even spinning it around, moving it across a desk (a tiny object can cause a scratch by doing this
- placing their phone in the center console of their car with other junk (keys, pennies, etc)
- placing phone in pocket with keys, pocket change etc.
So yes, while the new phones may have less scratch resistant screens than before, the cause of those scratches are still because of 'bad habits' in my opinion. You can call me retentive for not putting my phone in positions where it won't scratch - I'll take it. Whatever protects my investment.
I think it's good to bring this topic up and raise awareness so Apple might work on creating a tougher glass next time around. However, I would argue that an easier solution is to be more mindful of what you put your phone through.
By the way, if it's not bad habits, what is it? Is there a brand of jeans that create some kind of mega sharp pocket lint? Are there gym shorts capable of scratching glass?
Check out this tweet below. If the claim is true (only in pockets), we need to find out what brand of clothing this person is buying so we can all avoid it! ?
