With every new line of iPhone Apple releases, they continue to focus on making the iPhone’s screen stronger. The latest line of iPhone 12 features contains what Apple claims is the “toughest” screen on any smartphone –
Ceramic Shield. While many are familiar with Gorilla Glass, which is actually made by the same company that invented Ceramic Shield, the latter is said to be much stronger.
Can My iPhone Screen Still Be Scratched if I Have Ceramic Shield?
While many were hopeful that Ceramic Shield would put an end to the days of scratched iPhone screens, here at Manhattan iPhone Repair we have found that to not be the case. We have seen many customers come in disappointed that their new iPhone has a scratch on it. While certain scratches are in areas that might be considered bearable, others can drive an iPhone user crazy due to their position.
How Can I Prevent My iPhone Screen From Getting Scratched?
Here at Manhattan iPhone Repair we recommend a few ways to help our customers prevent scratches on their iPhone.
Screen Protectors
Having the right screen protector installed on your iPhone will help prevent scratches as the screen protector will take the brunt of the damage. There are many different types of screen protectors available to the public. We recommend either
Spigen’s line of tempered glass screen protectors which come with an EX fit tray for self-installation or
Otterbox’s line of Alpha Screen protectors which we find our customers really enjoy.
Case
We highly recommend all iPhone users protect their investments in an iPhone with a good case. With the average price of an iPhone over $1,000, a $30-$40 investment is well worth it in our opinion. When picking a case it is important to make sure that the case you select has a lip around the edge so if the phone were to fall on its screen, the case would take the brunt of the drop while protecting the screen. As technology has progressed, iPhone screen manufacturers have been able to slim down their case sizes while still providing the protection their customers need. We recommend the
Otterbox Commuter Series or the
Spigen Slim Armor line.
What Should I Do if My iPhone Screen Does Get Scratched?
Apple recommends iPhone screens be replaced immediately if they are damaged. Doing so will protect the phone while also providing a better user experience. Contact
