Is iPhone X Screen a Dust/Lint Magnet? (Comparison Pics)

[Pseudo-Fed]

Started by wiping 7+ and X screens with a moistened microfiber cloth for that factory fresh clean. Same case on each--Speck Presidio Sport.

Lee jeans, after front pocket turned inside out and shaken/inspected, as I always do before starting the day with my phone in the pocket. Nothing else in the pocket-ever (nothing but Glock 42 in other front pocket-ever where legal).

10 mins for each phone in pocket, 5 minutes out and set face down on clean microfiber cloth, then 10 mins back in. I like a clean screen and when enough builds up that it's visible in dark backgrounds, I wipe the screen. Don't like the idea of wiping the X screen more and risk of scratching with accidental grain of dirt, etc.

What is your experience?

Shouldn’t be more of a dust magnet compared to other phones.

I don't think it's any different from previous phones. You do have the lip of your case right up against the screen though so I can see more dust collecting there. Not really anything to do with the screen itself though.

My thoughts also, but after a couple days carrying and noticing more dust I decided to do my little test with fresh jeans and to start the day. Gathers much more than that in more than 20 mins. I'm constantly wiping the X throughout the day. Seems to have more static cling than the 7+.

Others including myself have made this observation as well.
I do use a glass screen protector though, so maybe that has something to do with it too.

Because it’s new. As the phone breaks in, it’ll become less static cling

Would love that to be true. Don't remember it that way for the 7+ though, which I got a few months after launch.

I notice no difference in my phones.

It's because the bezel of your 7+ is white so you don't notice the dust on the edges of the screen. Your X is black therefore you notice it more. Same thing happened to me when I went from a silver 6s+ to a black 7+.

I'm only looking at the "screen" part of the screen--black parts on both devices.

Oh, I don't know then...

This is my exact thought. My X certainly doesn't collect anymore dust that my previous iPhones did. I more or less think it's due to the lip of the case you have on your X.

I haven't noticed it being any more so than any other iPhone I have used.

Sometimes cases can be the worst culprit. I use my iPhone caseless and I don't attract any more dust than any other iPhone that I own.
