Debris between screen and aluminum edge

[crispApple]

Hello eveyone. I was just wondering I have been using my iPhone 6 caseless for a few weeks and I'm noticing there's debris Getting caught between the edges around where the screen meets the aluminum back plate. Is this normal. ? And how do you clean that. Thanks

I never thought about that! Appreciate the tip. Is this normal for use without a case?

I have been using a case so I wouldn't know about the 6. Used to use one for my iPhone 5 though (I had it naked) and worked perfectly

I've noticed the same thing. Seems to be only in the upper right quadrant. Blowing it out usually works.

I use the corner of a business card, or fold a sheet of A4 paper in two and use the corners of the folded part.

I would say either the toothbrush or a toothpick. I sometimes used a course cloth, and that works too. You gotta hate all the crud that accumulates.

When I worked in a restaurant, I would have to clean every other day from all the dirt and stuff that would get into the grooves of the phone.

I purchase a small high quality pure bristle paint brush to remove dust and light crud from crevices in electronic items. For the more stubborn stuff, I use a soft or medium toothbrush.

Thanks for all the tips everyone. I was just thinking I've had an iPhone 3G,4,5 and now the 6 and I know it's a conpletely different design but I feel like you shouldn't have to do this on such a high end beautiful device. Especially when most people recommend using it with no case. And I agree completely. I just feel like I should not have to up keep it in this way haha. Who knows. Maybe I'm crazy.

If you do not "feel like you shouldn't have to do this on such a high end beautiful device", do not do it.

Just like even fancy and expensive luxury cars get dirt on them when they are used and need to be cleaned despite being very high end and beautiful.

All very valid points. ^^ ##

I always get grime around the buttons etc and that can't be helped, but the joint where the screen meets the casing shouldn't be a dirt gulley IMO.

I completely agree. I almost always have something on the buttons, but It's gross when I take the case off.
