iPhone 6/6+ screen get scratches easily?

[sukhoi37]

My iPhone 6 just 3 days old but I already found a hairline scratch on top near the curve edge...
my 2 years old ip5 doesn't have any scratch leh...
Looks like both phone's screen scratch resistance is poorer than expected

I am not using any screen protector on my ip6 now. After reading the forum, a bit concerned.

So much for their "ion-strengthened" non sapphire glass, whatever that is.
Waste time pumping potassium to replace sodium, end up still get scratched and cracked by users.

It is scratch resistant, not scratch proof.

I am not using any screen protector. Last night, I went to an event to snap some photos and I put the lens cover in the same pocket where I keep my ip6+. After the event, that's the only time I realized that I put the 2 stuff together. Checked the screen, no scratch at all.

Been using it for almost a month. Still no scratches.

SP is unecessary. Built in oleophobic coating does the job

With 9H glass, abit OCD, but should be safe.

Wao on the apple forums there are so many instances of all these hairline scratches. :O Scary.. Not sure to get white or black plate now. :/

Visited the apple shop at paragon and went to kpo the grey iphone6 w black front... The hairline scratches are really there bros. White isn't visible. Had to tilt the phone and look at it at certain angles though.

You tried to scratch it one isit.

No man, I actually took the phone, and then angled it under the light to see if there were hairline scratches. Then I used my thumb to try and smudge it away. After that I used my shirt to cleaned it (okay i dont know if this would cause more scratches judging by how sensitive it is) and then I saw that the original scratches were still there.

From a distance you cant spot it. But its very noticeable once you angle the phone against a light source.

I'm probably gonna get silver now. (out of sight out of mind )

My case. Space Grey. Last night use the same reading glasses cloth to clean the iPhone 4 & 5s(both w/o sp)before to wipe(with some force) off the finger print. Somehow, a slightly long hairline appear at the middle of screen(heart pain). Now, heading to shop for a Sp! My very first phone going to put on Sp. I love my phone to be naked.... Oh well!

I was looking at the display set at nubox, a lot of hairline scratches very faint kind on it. Think it's the oleophobic coating. Any bro using naked all the way can report on wear and tear?

I'm using tempered glass but i hate it. The curves edges are nice and I wanna use the phone without protector and case.

Pasted on day 1. But tear it off after 3 days as it doesn't cover full screen which makes screen navigation very 'gao wei'. Been naked so far...smooth and scratch free.
