Is iPhone 5s scratched or not? Why does the iPhone display scratch so easily? Do I need to put a film on the iPhone screen?
iPhone is an elegant device that you want to treat with awe. Therefore, many users worry that the iPhone glass can be easily scratched. In fact, with each new generation it becomes easier and easier.
Let's take it in order, what kind of glass is in the iPhone?
In fact, iPhones have slightly modified Gorilla Glass. For marketing purposes, it is called all sorts of names: Ion-X, ion-hardened with a high degree of wear, and so on.
Apple simply does not want to equate the quality of its products to the level of Android smartphones. Cupertino residents are always “head and shoulders above their competitors.”
However, this does not negate its physical properties.
The most difficult thing is to determine the quality of installed glass without obvious influences on it, stupidly it won't work by eye. The difference lies in the manufacturing processes, general chemical composition, coating, level of processing, and so on.
It is possible to damage the screen, and it is the iPhone owner’s belief in “indestructibility” that often plays a cruel joke on him.
iPhones get scratched more and more every year, and that's a fact.
It seems as if the company deliberately reduces the quality of glass coating every year.
I also have a living example of this. After 1.5 years with the iPhone 5s, I left it in pristine, out-of-the-box condition.
After upgrading to iPhone 7, the difference became noticeable. Already on the second day of use, a scratch appeared on the smartphone, which is visible to the naked eye.
This is confirmed by numerous tests on YouTube:
And what’s most interesting is that scratch resistance becomes worse not only on the glass, but also on the iPhone body itself.
As a result, the glass of the iPhone 7 is quite easy to scratch with keys and a knife. Many times I had coins in my pocket with my iPhone, and they they also scratch the screen.
The only option to protect the glass is to buy another glass
Yes, this is the most banal advice, but also the most effective. To protect your iPhone glass from scratches as much as possible, just buy some kind of film or protective glass.
The latter will additionally save your smartphone from cracks. After all, all new iPhones have a monolithic block of protective glass and display, and no one wants to replace it for a fabulous sum.
Maybe I'm the only “lucky” one. Let's figure it out together
Personally, I don't like this trend that every new iPhone gets more and more scratched. It's hard to imagine what results the iPhone 8 will show.
How do you protect the screen of your iPhone 6 or iPhone 6s? Until recently, Apple did not say a word about the existence of protective films and protective glasses for its smartphones, although they exist and are popular. Accessory only after the appearance of the oleophobic coating. However, I propose to forget about those films and glasses that owners of the iPhone 5s and older models use. Do owners need film? new iPhones, which, quite obviously, are not intended for gluing it.
For the first time, glass with rounded edges appeared, which greatly complicated the life of screen protector manufacturers. Today, there are two types of screen protection for these smartphones: films and glass, which protect only the working surface, or safety glass with a painted frame that extends onto the curved edges of the screen. 
A screen protector or glass that doesn't completely cover the front of your smartphone doesn't look very attractive and, as you can imagine, isn't very effective when your phone is dropped on a corner. The second type of protective glass has another drawback. The edges of these glasses do not fit tightly against the curved edges of the iPhone screen, which can cause the glass to come off, especially if you use a thick protective case. 
All this makes us think that Apple did not create its smartphone to use protective films and glass. However, the Japanese blog MacOtakara says that Apple, in partnership with accessory maker Belkin, has begun offering a protective film sticker directly in Apple Store.
An Apple retail store employee uses a Belkin TrueClear Pro kit to apply the sticker. This is a special machine that allows you to glue the film quickly and efficiently. If any debris does get underneath, an Apple Store employee is required to do the procedure again for free. The cost of such a service ranges from $19 to $37 and depends on the diagonal of the smartphone screen, the thickness and material of the protective film.
Probably, many potential buyers of the new smartphone from Apple are interested in how practical it is, whether the iPhone 5 is scratched badly, and in general, how it will look in general after several months of use. The guys from geeksputnik did a pretty good job interesting review on this topic and showed what the iPhone 5 looks like after two months of use.
It can be immediately noted that the smartphone was actively used without various cases, covers and other protective equipment. The review started off on a positive note. Everything is fine with the iPhone 5 screen, and almost nothing happened. No scratches or large stains - that's great. The iPhone 4s screen, for example, was more prone to damage and scratches.
The back of the iPhone 5 also turned out to be in excellent condition, no major scratches or other troubles, and this despite the fact that the phone was actively used (carried in a pocket, lay on dashboard car, etc.). Therefore, if you are an adequate user and are careful with your things, then everything will be fine with your iPhone 5 after several months of use.
What to do to prevent iPhone 5 from being scratched?
— Carry it in a separate pocket, which should not contain any foreign objects that could damage it (changes, keys, beer caps, crushed stone, pistol, etc.);
— Buy protective equipment for iPhone 5 – bumper, case, protective film on the front parts of the device.
Now let's move on to the not so pleasant things. Let's talk about what happened during 2 months of active use with the iPhone 5. The first thing that caused discomfort: the lock and turn off button of the device stopped responding to pressing. Moreover, this happens when you press the right side of the button, the left side and center respond perfectly. Moreover, this “jamb” was apparently corrected in subsequent batches of iPhone 5.
Let's move on... The next malfunction, which appeared within 2 months of active use, is the tight “Silent” mode switch. To change the position of the switch you need to apply enough force, this is also not good.
Now let's talk about the long-suffering topic - the end part of the phone, which supposedly began to peel off from the first day iPhone purchases 5. Nothing like this happened to the phone during 2 months of active use. Yes, there were minor scratches on the rim of the phone, but you need to take into account that the smartphone was dropped on a wooden surface more than once and was used without protective equipment.
Does it scratch? iPhone screen 6s from being worn in the same pocket with keys and change or broken from a fall and impact, the owner has only one solution - replacing the display. Its necessity may be caused by practical (the device is difficult or impossible to use) or aesthetic (you want the iPhone 6 to look like new) considerations.
It will appear even with careful use. Actually, this complaint against Apple was the most popular after the start of sales of the model. The oleophobic coating has oil-repellent properties, but, alas, it is not resistant to physical damage.
The iPhone 6s, like previous models, has Gorilla Glass from Corning. Instead of the announced sapphire glass, the iPhone 6s received ion-tempered glass. A number of experts believe that due to errors in the formation chemical composition material. In fact, ion processing is an intervention in the molecular structure.
Also on the list of reasons: glass protruding above the frame, rounded corners and Force Touch. The ability to detect pressure pressure forced designers to sacrifice screen hardness.
The ones listed have purely operational properties. This also applies to them - it appears if the crystals of the matrix have spread due to strong pressure or impact. If a small object gets between the backlight and the LCD matrix, flare occurs, visually looking like a spot on the screen.
The consequences of poor-quality repairs deserve special attention. Often referred to as, but this is an incorrect diagnosis. Bubbles are the result of poor-quality assembly of the screen module. If such a problem exists after the device has been repaired, you have installed a refurbished spare part rather than an original one. Unfortunately, a number of service centers use working matrices from broken screens, attach touch glass to them and sell them under the guise of new display modules.
Also, the causes of iPhone 6s screen problems may lie in broken or flying cables, an incorrectly functioning matrix, or cracks in the display control chip.
