Will having/using my iPhone near beads or jewelry made with beads and metal craft wire (like rings, necklaces, etc) crack or scratch my iPhone screen just from being near them? Especially if a bead fell on the screen. I have a glass screen protector.

Only if the beads are made out of diamond, quartz or other item with a higher hardness rating than the display:
Look on youtube for durability tests for your device:
Something like this:

PS.
I often see people complaining of how easily the screen was scratched. "Barely touched the brick wall" was the latest. There was an obvious mark that would catch your fingernail. A quick rub with a microcloth removed the brick that marked the display, kinda like how a pencil would mark a piece of paper. Sometimes a little rub will remove the 'scratches'.

Would having metal things like a pocket knife in the other front pocket than my iPhone crack my iPhone SE 2020 screen since iPhone screens crack easily? Would you definitely and easily notice a crack in the screen when using and seeing the display? I do have a glass screen protector on.

No more than a bead.

In its case.

I assume you’re referring to adjacent pockets, like a regular front pocket with a “coin” pocket or something like that. If that’s the case, a knife won’t scratch a modern iPhone. 😊

Good idea to use a cheap iPhone SE until you learn the ropes of life. 😆

Would I very easily, definitely and immediately notice if there were any cracks on my iPhone screen? How would I know if my iPhone screen had a crack in it? Would I see or even notice it while using and looking at the display or is it something you wouldn’t miss?

Why do you keep asking the almost exact same question in every single one of your total three posts? Why not give us some context?

If you see it, there is a scratch.
If you don't see it, it's as if there was no scratch.

You would notice a crack on the screen if you looked at the screen and there was a crack on the screen.

A crack from what?
Beads?
A pocket knife?

That's sort of like asking if milk expires.

Yes. You can, very clearly and blatantly, see cracks on the screen if your device is cracked.

Not to be rude, but it's sort of a curveball of a question.
