iPhone 16 Pro/Pro Max Screen Protector

I think all the screen protectors have a bit of a border issue. I’m not sure if it’s worse on the flolab… someone needs to compare.
You are correct same here I emailed them and they said the following..
Sorry about the inconvenience caused since it was a new released product caused by a material of manufacturing defect.

We’re also excited to let you know that we’ve been working on a solution and will be launching a new 4D Hot Bend Glass screen protector soon. It’s designed specifically for the iPhone 16 series to ensure an even better fit without compromising the screen view.

that sounds like glass that goes around the curve at the edges of the screen. I know it's just marketing mumbo jumbo though.
people say the clear one is the newer one. I had the clear one and not sure if anyone on MR has had the orange one.
Thinking of ordering it while I wait for my phone to arrive. But they are so confusing this year with two options that both have the speaker cover so I’m not really sure what the difference is. I hate it when manufacturers do this.
How does it look with sunglasses on? Is the screen crystal clear? No UV rainbow effect due to lamination?

Was trying to search for a screen protector with anti-reflection similar to flolab and saw that ultraglass has a similar version: https://a.co/d/9hywEno
Anyone tried this already?

"Hot bend" sounds more like an actual curve than "3D edge" or whatever marketing term. Whitestone used to make actually curved protectors for Samsungs back then but those used UV glue.
Not impossible. They'll probably just cost a pretty penny.
I loved those on my 14PM. I got a feeling the black borders will cover the screen on the 16PM
Yep. Truly edge to edge with little to no borders and 3D or whatever they call it tapered edges so no hard raised sides ?
In the past for my 14PM I used to get those that covered the speaker and it worked out great. No dust inside the tiny earpiece speaker.
So just came back from Apple Store. Bought 2 iPhone 16 Pros. 256GB & 512GB.
On 256GB one the protector fits perfectly. First attempt.
On 512GB one, 6 failed attempts, ESR and Tersely. Apple Store tried 2 Belkins, same issue. The whole border is not sitting right.
The lady at the store said to get a new iPhone and take the refund of this one.
They’ve actually been facing this issue with quite a few other customers too so the worst part is that I don’t even know if the new one will have the same issue or not.
Honestly kinda pissed. What’s up the QC at Apple? No Apple intelligence, now screen warp issue.

Seems like it. Took me a few hours to setup this phone and will have to waste another few hours.
The issue is that I’ll have to buy another one, set that up using the current one which will take a few hours then go back to Apple Store to return the first one lol.
2 Apple Store visits with setting up time wasted.
I replaced the Torras 16 PM in clear installer with the Apple installed 16 PM Belkin yesterday and it fits perfectly.
Still like Torras diamondshield for 15 PM the best, as could not even tell it was on. Hopefully, they can replicated that on a revised model this year.
