Reply to comment by panthereal in Would you advise use of a screen protector for iPhones? by EscCtrlAltGr

12 Mini here, 14 months in use (bought refurbished). Had to change my screen protector 5 months ago because I did a terrible job glueing the first one.

Had a protector on my huawei before, same protector for three years straight, none to mild scratches only.

Just invest the 15$ for a quite good one (most come in a pack of two). You won’t regret it, but please don’t put your keys in the same pocket as your phone. The camera is not protected whatsoever.

My main concern is how many mild scratches you get comparatively.

If going with a screen protector means on average you'll have 10 scratches in a year, but going no protector means you'd only have 5, I'll stick with no protector.

Of course if they scratch exactly the same then it's probably always a good idea to get one until apple will replace a scratched screen.
