iPhone Aluminium Loses Dry/Matte Feel

[NickMcCandless]

For those who use their iPhones naked do you notice with time the alumnium of the phone seems to absorb our natural body oils and loses the dry/matte feel? I notice when I get new iPhone the aluminium feels much better likely due to not being exposed to regular finger and hand touching.

Anyone else experience this? Any way to prevent this without a new case?

Agreed. I have a 6s Plus and an iPhone 7. The 7 has a much more sandy feel, as to where my 6s had this at the beginning, but has a more smooth texture over time.

Yop, agree. Noticed it with my 6, too, even though I have to say that I don't really mind as it still feels quite nice after two years of touching and grabbing.

It's the inherent good design. I say the same thing about the wife after 7 years.


(the feeling nice after years of touching and grabbing bit, not the sandy bit)

You can wash the 7 now a bit of soap would do wonders

The anodized surface will actually get smoother with wear.

Try some alcohol wipes or some screen cleaner Nguyen wipes.

Glad to know I'm not the only one, anyone found something that restores the feel?

Im already losing it on my new iPhone 7 Plus Wish there was a way to keep that same feel
