Yep. Mine has micro scratches. That was quick. Wonder how this will affect upgrades, if it'll disqualify me. If I'll have to pay for a replacement before they'll let me upgrade.
 
If you don’t want marks or scratches get a gsp.

Captain obvious here! The screen shouldn’t have any marks or smudges. First time I’ve had an issue with any smartphone I owned and that’s been plenty.

Micro scratches I don’t really care about

In my opinion GSP are just not required unless you go naked and are prone to flinging youir phone to the other side of the room...
I use an Apple leather case, nothing else. I have occasionally dropped it, but I've never cracked or scratched a screen.

Well you started the thread. How can anyone say without seeing something? We are not mind readers.

You’re the only one making drama. You’re the only one who asked for pictures. I was just stating a fact that my screen had an issue and this the first time I’ve had this issue with plenty of phones that I have owned over the years.

I’ve had micro scratches but that’s it. Only phone that I had a big scratch was my iPhone 4 but I abused the crap out of it and considering what abuse it went it only had a scratch near the home button so it wasn’t even an issue.

Post a pic. We don’t know what you’re talking about.
If GSP stands for glass screen protector, I’ve never understood why people use those. Yeah, after a year plus, I’ll have hairline scratches but they’re only visible under very very direct light. And most protectors looks terrible from what I’ve seen in person

Pics or it didn’t happen.

Generally curious, how do you know the Oleophobic coating is ‘gone’. It doesn’t just wear off within nine days, did you apply any type of alcohol solution to the display or cleanser.

FYI, they actually make ‘coating kits’ that you can reapply the Oleophobic if you wanted to. [Fusso is a decent Product available on Amazon]
I recently found some microscratches on the notch area of my 11 PM.

Got worried because I recently cleaned my phone using isopropyl alcohol diluted in 60% parts of water.

But I tested out the coating specifically in the notch area, and I can definitely say its still there.

Do you think the coating has worn off already which lead to the scratches, or the microscratches I’m telling you about are just really on the coating?
