Has anyone the same issue? I got a lot of tiny scratches on my iPhone in the stainless steel frame
For those going naked, any worry about scratching the camera? Or since it’s sapphire that’s not usually the case?

It's like the old iPods, breathing on them results on scratches....

Does no matter. That is not the point , with SS you can polish scratches out. Any scratch on the space grey cannot be polished out.
Remember the space grey iPhone 5 ..... good example of scratches to stay ...
I wish the space black had SS band actually for that reason
When I get mine — probably in Space Black, too — I’m going to take a nail and gouge one of the edges just so I won’t have to worry endlessly about “microscratches”.
This isn’t so much a micro scratch. It’s a bit bigger![]()
I'd like mine to show a little bit of tool-like patina, too.My wife watches shows in which appearance of use and "wear" is actually celebrated. They call it "patina" on those shows... maybe that's what you should be after![]()
I believe it was this one? I agree with you as wellI'd like mine to show a little bit of tool-like patina, too.
Somewhere on the interwebs is a series of photos of a first-generation iPhone, used without a case for its entire life, with its frosted aluminum finish scratched and burnished by living in pockets with car keys and whatnot. It looks pretty cool, too.
(I've been searching for it this morning and haven't found it yet; I may update with a pic if I do)
The SG won’t scratch unless you drop the phone...that is a sure thing. Now, we all should take care not to drop our phones, correct? The silver band will still scratch bad if dropped and you will say it won’t look as noticeable, and will still be buffable...no sir, any deep scratches will still be there, noticeable or not at first glance. And who buffs their phones?Except you can polish stainless steel easily and maintain a nice shiny coat. Once SG scratches it's done. Other's have already scratched the SG band and have no option other than deal with it. It appears the PVD coating they used isn't the same as on the SB apple watch (which is very strong). I'm much rather take little scratches that I can buff out occasionally than the other option. Let's see whose phone look better after a year![]()
Yes! That one exactly. I wish I could see it in person.
I'm going to need to convince my wife to let me use my next iPhone caseless.
Resale value? Pffff. I usually keep my phones for so long that whoever wants it would have to get a new battery installed anyway.
Besides, not using a case should encourage me to keep it nicer and not, say, throw it against the bookcase when my ISP's customer service pisses me off again...
