iPhone X Screen Attracts a LOT Of Dust

[Gmouse]

After using for a few days, noticed that it sure seems to get really dusty (as opposed to just finger smears), compared to my 7+. Almost like the screen has a static charge or something...

No it doesn't. it's the same as any other (LCD/AMOLED) screen ever.

Unless your leaving your phone in the attic, it shouldn't get dusty.... If you are using it constantly, dust cant accumulate. If you keep it in your pocket, check them, they might just have a lot of dust and junk in them. Haven't experienced this myself.

Shouldn’t be attracting more dust then any other screen

Do you have any screen protector on it? My tempered glass protector accumulates dust easily around the edges.

I have never seen a thread where someone states their iPhone display collects dust. If that's the case, use a microfiber cloth.

I think the speakers at the bottom, charging port, and top earpiece attract a lot more dust than other iPhones. I'm constantly trying to keep those areas clean to prevent that grungy buildup.

No dust on my screen, though at this point I have a screen protector on it

Did you have a white-faced phone before moving to the X? Stuff shows up WAY worse on the black face than it does on the white face.

It does, and it's one of the reasons I returned, along with some of the same said dust that apparently made it's way inside the camera housing. Here are pics of test I did (and posted) with same case (Speck Presidio Sport), both phones starting out clean, same pants pocket, 10 mins each. Plus a pic of the particle under the camera lens cover, which was NOT there when bought just 4 days ago. Before anyone says it's the white face of the 7+ making the screen look better, I'm ONLY looking at the black part--the actual screen. The X definitely has a different static charge, and much of the dust particles are much finer than that which sticks to the 7+:

Aha!

I heard Apple did this on purpose

Just FYI...I've had every iPhone since the 4, have had screen protectors only on two, rest are native, keep them in my front blue jean pocket, clean them at times (DO have microfiber & usually use just damp, sometimes with safe eyeglasses cleaner), but, typically I have only gotten smears on my screen. But, with the X, it's been REALLY dusty, like there's a static charge or something. Wondering on the dust inside the camera area, if it got sucked in from elsewhere inside (not sure there's an opening to suck dust in via...).
