    I think it is odd that Apple wouldn’t cover a scratched screen under AppleCare+ since a big scratch in the screen vey much seems to be accidental damage. Even more interesting is, that I just this week had my S7 replaced due to an ugly scratch on the display under AppleCare+. I just started a support chat last weekend, told them I had a scratch and wanted the display replaced under AppleCare+, they initiated an express exchange, I received a new S7 within 3 days and my repair case has been closed by now.

    Also: it’s a stainless steel model. They do scratch.

    Ouch!!

    I scratched mine the first week I had it but thankfully it’s tiny and along the edge.

    Was enough for me to get AppleCare+ though…

    I still don’t have any scratches on my S6 that I bought when it was released, what did you do to yours?

    I hate to say this now but I learned with my 5 I’ll get a screen protector. Considering the vulnerability with a watch it makes sense.

    I have a similar scratch on my Series 7. It’s only really visible when the screen is off, so it hasn’t truly bothered me.

    I’m finding the glass very soft on my S9 😩 I haven’t even dropped it or banged it. I can see light stretches and a very tiny deeper scratch. They always advertise it saying how tough the glass is

    Question to all AW owners: is the Ion-X glass THAT scratch-prone? I keep seeing videos, posts and even friends saying that they scratched their brand new AW within days. Wondering because I’m considering buying one.

    I wore a Pixel Watch for over a year with no protection and no particular care and there was not a single scratch on it. Is Gorilla glass more scratch-resistant than Ion-X?
