Because it voids your warranty. Simple.

Yeah im pretty sure its illegal for apple to say that will void your warranty. At least in europe everything must be fit for use for up to 5 years after you purchase it and if they say it voids the warranty im pretty sure theres laws against that as well. I read up on it before but i'd need to check it out again.
 
I have had two 3g iPhones and this is my second 3gs. This new replacement screen is picking up little micro scratches like crazy. My old one was naked for 6 months with no scratches at all and ditto on the 3g phones.

Is this a defective oleophobic coating?

Funny, I'm having the same experience. Within 48 hours of getting my 3GS replacement last week I noticed several scratches on the screen. In two years of owning an iPhone, this is the first scratch I've ever had. What's odd in my case is that the scratches occurred over the weekend - the iPhone never left the house, yet somehow got scratched. WTF? :mad:

I'm in Japan. And just to clarify, the scratches aren't on the lens, they're on the screen.

Wait, the scratches are on the LCD, as opposed to the glass? What am I missing?

No, they're on the glass on the front of the phone. The "lens" would be the circular glass/plastic part of the camera in the rear of the phone. ;)

This is the type of pedantry up with which I shall not put! :p

You have a way with words. Gotta love the double entendre.
