iPhone 17 Pro Max For those NOT using a screen protector on your 17 Pro series, does your screen have any micro scratches?

I was curious, for those brave enough to go without a screen protector on your 17 Pro series phone, do you have any micro scratches on your screen that are visible when it’s turned off or light shines on it? ☀️💡

Curious how good the Ceramic Shield 2 is 🤔

Not my photos below, but just a couple of examples of micro scratches on the screen:

Nothing yet after maybe 6 weeks of use.

Nothing since launch day ...

But of course if you use abrasive material to wipe your screen, then you get what is in the photos above... quite frankly a shame that you post photos you seemingly have no idea where they are from...

The question is, “do I notice” (or “do I care” perhaps)

The answer to THOSE questions is, is “No.”

None on my 17 Pro

I saw an older thread on Reddit talking about this same question.

I was just curious if anyone else had gotten micro scratches that you can see when the screen is off but you reflecting light against it?

I get that some people don’t care about them if they occur, I’m just trying to find out if they actually happen or not.

Thanks for your help! 🙂

Sounds like they must have improved the screens because the last few Pro Max phones I've had have had microscratches almost immediately. Great to hear!

Not on my 17pm - still looks perfect

I currently have an Air, but all previous phones have been pros. I use cases but have never used screen protectors as I don't like the look or feel of them. None of my phones have had micro scratches. I did have one Apple Watch that had a micro scratch.

You should give a third option “Never checked”.

Nothing yet, had the phone since mid-October.

My screen is a MESS. Have a launch day 17 Pro and always went caseless and screen protector-less on all my previous phones because I do iUP so AppleCare was my “case”. However with how soft the aluminum is I did do a case but figured the new screen looks more resilient than previous models so no protector.

This screen oddly enough has scratched worse than previous phones for me. However they don’t get in the way when I’m actually using the phone so it doesn’t bother me. I also don’t baby my phone but I haven’t been rougher with this one than my others.
