It's not widely known but iPhone 11 pro has a softer glass, more flexible, which better withstands falls. Problem is that it scratches easier than previous models. They improved this in the iPhone 12 models, maintaining the flexibility while making them harder to scratch.
- ricardobeat 6y agoA-ha. That explains why my 11 pro front glass is absolutely disgusting, covered in scratches.
- hprotagonist 6y agoa glass screen protector goes on the front of every phone i buy within 90 seconds of it coming out of the box.
- dntrkv 6y agoBut then you have to use your phone with a screen protector. I'd rather deal with the tiny scratches than a screen protector.
- muzika 6y agoMe too
- Nextgrid 6y agoAre we just not using the same screen protectors? I don't ever notice my screen protector and I've been using them for years. The only annoyance I can remember with those is applying the plastic flexible ones, but the rigid glass ones are very easy to apply. I'm curious as to what you dislike so much about them.
- anoncareer0212 6y agoI think there's an extremely wide sensitivity in range of eyes, I honestly cannot imagine how in the world a screen protector couldn't significantly affect color and brightness that comes from the display naturally (your comment is the first time I learned this isn't the common case, I swear)
- mhh__ 6y agoPlacebo. 1. If you use it you'd get used to it 2. It's almost completely transparent, look at the light coming through the screen protector before you put it on. It's not a condom for a phone.

- ycombinete 6y agoFor me it's feeling the ridge at the edges of the protector, as a do a swipes from the edge of the phone. For things like deleting mails, going back, or especially for usng the alt-tab like feature that my iphone 8 plus has.
- ShakataGaNai 6y agoI don't know of you've used a screen protector in the last few years, I hadn't until recently. They are very glass like now, if not actually glass. Not like the old days of disgusting plastic protectors. My wife had one on her iPhone and I didn't even notice.
- qeternity 6y agoI’m not exactly sure what they’re made out of, but mine cracked recently after a drop and looked just like glass (the screen was perfectly fine however). I made the mistake of grabbing the phone near the crack and ended up stabbing myself with a small shard that had splintered off.
- Aeolun 6y agoCan you explain to me why? My phone already has a (super strong) glass screen by default. Why would I want to stick another layer on?

- kristofferR 6y agoBecause if it falls to the ground you can just pull of the $10 glass layer and replace it like nothing happened, instead of sending in your phone for repair.
- sumedh 6y agoI dont use a screen protector but have a good case to handle the falls, so far so good.
- ryanianian 6y agoI have a somewhat deep scratch from keys that actually causes that area of the touchscreen to be less sensitive. If it’s in the 30% of the screen that sees 70% of the action it can be a big annoyance. Try as hard as I can, my phone always finds my keys. I still go case-free but I strongly consider the case with every new phone or every new key mar.
- hprotagonist 6y agoglass screen protectors sacrifice themselves on drops, and a three-pack costs $12.
- idlewords 6y agoWhoa, you take it out of the box? Enjoy your scratched-up, damaged phone!
- hprotagonist 6y agothe pinboard-addition device must be protected, not unused! :D
