hi everyone Aaron here for ZolloTech and many of you have been asking me if I'm
experiencing more easily scratch displays than I would in previous years
and I think a lot of you are seeing this from different news articles that are
saying iPhone 11s are showing different scuffs and scratches more easily
despite their hardened glass so here I have an iPhone 11 pro my iPhone 11 and
my iPhone 11 Pro max and I take very good care of them and I think a lot of
you asked me because I don't normally use a screen protector or a case and so
I've been using the 11 Pro max is my main device and I actually did start
looking into this and I have scratches on the screen now I normally would get a
few scuffs and scratches and under the correct light right there under my
finger you can see there's a little bit of a scratch this is something I can
actually feel with my finger now so I thought it was just the oleophobic
coating but it could be down into the glass as well I also have a couple of
other light scratches on the display I don't know if you can see it but I have
it very bright in here so we can see them more easily but there are a couple
light scratches around the display and while that's not unusual
it seems pretty unusual for the speed at which it occurred within three weeks and
in fact it started to happen on other displays as well the iPhone 11 I used
more for my video that I had as far as the review goes and the unboxing but
it's been in the box other than that and I really don't see any scratches or
anything on this display however I started to see scratches on the display
of the iPhone 11 Pro and so I actually added a screen protector because when
I'm not using this it was in the box until I received a screen protector so
I'd put it in the box when I was done using it I'd take it out and strangely
enough it had some light scratches on the screen and this was hardly used
other than as a video camera to record some of the iPhone 11 Pro review and it
was used for very little else I used it a little bit in between with the XS or
the 11Pro Max rather and it has scratches on it so I decided to put a
screen protector it has a case on it normally and that will keep it from
scratching now I tend to use Apple Care Plus for mice
I mean as far as the screen protector because it's $30 to replace the display
or $50 under that plan and so I'd rather have it without a screen protector and
deal with it later and then have Apple replace the display if it gets bad
enough and overtime displays do scratch in fact here's my XS Max that I had
replaced in I believe it was May maybe even as far back as March depending but
this has a big gouge in it actually and I'm not sure where it came from these
things do happen but let's see if we can get it under the
right light and under my finger here you'll see there's a scratch all the way
across the screen and I can actually feel this it's pretty deep on this
display so it does happen over time so there's two ways we can handle this you
can either have Apple Care Plus and have them replace the screen or you can do
the cheap and more obvious thing put a screen protector on here so there's not
much more than that but I'm curious if you're having light scratches even
though you've barely used it maybe you saw scratches as soon as you took it out
of the box I'd love to hear that in the comments below and it's really hard to
see the scratches under dark light and that's why I have it so bright in here
right now so that we can actually see those
scratches in sunlight you can see them usually with the screen off otherwise
you can't see them but let me know if you have those scuffs like I have here
in the upper right and now that I know where it is it's easier to see but I'd
love to hear if you're having this issue because it's obviously important if a
lot of people are having this so despite harder glass it may be more
brittle or more prone to scratching and maybe it's softer so it withstands more
more hits I'm not sure that would be less brittle but other channels that
have tested the durability of the display have not found it to be a
problem as far as hardness and things like that so I think it's probably just
the style of glass that it is so I'll link the screen protectors I'm using I
think they're really inexpensive but there are plenty of good ones out there
but I tend to buy them in three or four packs and put them on and if I need to
replace that I replace it but let me know your thoughts in the comments below
if you're seeing these right out of the box with these scratches on it I'd love
to hear what your experience is with it because that's pretty unfortunate
especially if you get it right out of the box return it to Apple and have them
give you a new one if you get it like that but let me know your thoughts or
your experience in the comments below of
course I'll link this wallpaper in the description as I always do and if you
