- anexprogrammer 10y agoI seem to have oleophobic-proof fingerprints then. I'm constantly cleaning phone screen (swipe on jeans these days now phone is not spanking-new). You could easily see my swipe or pin pattern from prints and smudges, even from one use, which never happened with actual keys.
- newscracker 10y agoThe oleophobic coating does vanish with use over a period of time. That's why you wouldn't see fingerprints and such on a new device, but would on an older and well used one.
- criddell 10y agoMy phone screen is smudged, but it doesn't really bother me. If I spot something on my monitor, I can't get any work done until I have it cleaned off.
