iPhone 14 Pro Max Is anyone else's 14 pro max a dust/ lint magnet??

[ShadowGuardian87]

I have had my 14 pro max since launch and I noticed that there is A LOT more lint/ dust collecting near the silent switch, at the bottom speakers, and around the edges of my screen protector. I never had this lint/ dust issue on my 11 pro max all that much, but it's kinda annoying with my 14 pro max. My pockets are usually super linty and my room isn't dusty. I know this is a weird topic, anyone, else dealing with lint or dust constantly on their 14 pro max? I have a silver-colored phone but my previous 11 pro max was black so maybe I just never noticed lint?

That’s probably the reason as your shiny silver edges around the phone would be a lot more noticeable for stuff like that than the black you had.

Are you using a case? If so, which one?

A fix could be cleaning the lint out of your pockets. But what do I know.

why didn't I think of that sooner......... 😒. But in all seriousness, I clean the lint out of my pockets. Not sure how it’s getting all linty.

Use a Ziploc bag.

Believe it or not, I experience the same thing, I always find myself cleaning it off...so annoying

Spray phone with anti-static spray.


However if it also takes off the screen coating or colour off the sides don’t blame me - it was just a thought…

 

[Eaglesfan69]

yea thus why have case but the sides of phone on front still collect dust unless I use a full phone covered case with front n back glass case like this one

Mine too! I always get a bunch of dust at the top of screen around the speaker. I worry it’s going to clog up the speaker with the dust/lint building up inside that gigantic hole.

I've noticed that as well. I wonder if the coating is a little different on the phone and that might be the reason it attracts more lint? I've noticed even when taking off a case, that the steel band seems much more grippy.

Interesting. This is my first pro phone since 11 pro. Grippier eh?
