Apple describes the glass (front and back) on the iPhone XS as “the most durable glass ever in a smartphone”. I asked, and according to Apple, this means both crack and<\/em> scratch resistance.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n

Marco Arment<\/a>:<\/p>\n

\n

My iPhone X had the most scratch-prone screen I’ve ever had on a portable device.<\/p>\n

My iPhone XS has zero scratches so far, and seems much more like pre-X iPhones in that regard.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Evgeny Cherpak<\/a>:<\/p>\n

\n

I owned two X iPhones, first one was very scratch prone m, current one no so much. Is it possible they have multiple glass suppliers and some not as good as others. That would mean we have a lottery just like with intel modems but without ability to identify it.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n

Joe Fabisevich<\/a>:<\/p>\n

\n

Is it just me or is the iPhone XS much more scratchable than previous iPhones?<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n

Hunter Maximillion Monk<\/a>:<\/p>\n

\n

I got two huge scratches after having it for maybe 3 days. Always kept in pocket alone, never dropped<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n

Felix Lapalme<\/a>:<\/p>\n

\n

AFAIK it’s as scratchable as the X (very) to make it less prone to shattering<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n

Pratik Jain<\/a>:<\/p>\n

\n

Apple switched the coating applied since the X for OLED Screens which causes the scratch hell.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n
