Wow. Imagine the embarrassment if you’d actually gone into an Apple Store to ask for a replacement

I used to have one of those thick screen protectors that had cracked in a bunch of spots so I went to the store I bought it at to use my warranty and get a new iPhone. Well the service guys looks at my phone and peels the screen protector off revealing a completely fine unbroken screen without a scratch on it. I was super embarrassed.

Well embarrassment aside, at least they saved you from buying a new phone!

Nah, I haven’t had a screen protector ever in my 13 pro and zero micro scratches whatsoever

Yeah that’s not really possible :)

Also it’s not for scratches, it’s for cracks

I just put it under a bright light and there’s literally 0. Ceramic Shield is great. My 12 pro didn’t have any either u til I dropped it and then it got one scratch. My mother got lots of micro scratches on her 11 pro max within a couple of days tho, when I had my 11 pro max I also sold it with only like 1 micro scratch that could o it be seen under a bright lamp, so so feint though.

It depends on how you use your phone. I keep it in my pocket with nothing else. The screen o my comes in contact with my fingers. It does not come into contact with anything harder than glass, so it cannot scratch. Also really no dust in my pockets

Why don’t they get dead pixels?

Because it's Amoled and not Amodead
And don't call me Shirley

Single dead pixels happen too commonly to replace the entire screen for that (and that's the ONLY solution -- replace the entire screen). If there's enough of them a replacement is in order though.

Apple may be more stringent than other manufacturers and put the minimum at 3, some others can have it above 10.

That’s asinine

It's how the industry works. A single pixel isn't worth replacing the entire unit, but that's the only fix.

On iPhone just replace the screen?

paulstelian97 t1_itcczqt wrote

Well yes but doing it for a single dead pixel is too expensive even for Apple. Well, kinda (individual representatives MIGHT choose to do it anyway for you, but no guarantees; it's probably fine if the store has a good profit that day for example)

It should be covered under apple care

paulstelian97 t1_itce1ua wrote

A single pixel might not be covered even with Apple Care+. See if the representative will do it anyway, as there's some chance.

i never seen one i got amoled since galaxy s2.

i believe because there is not passive TFT that turn on and off pixels.

But the pixel itself could still be broken
