iPhone-6-review-7With Apple not managing to obtain the right yield that they were looking for in order to have sapphire glass installed as displays on the iPhone 6 and the iPhone 6 Plus, it goes without saying that (relatively speaking) both of the latest generation iPhone handsets would be more easily scratched – the display, that is, as opposed to sapphire glass. Apparently, owners of the iPhone 6 as well as the iPhone 6 Plus have begun to complain that the displays on their handsets are easily scratched compared to the older generations of iPhones. This has been highlighted in the Apple Support Communities forum already, where it had picked up more than 600 responses of a similar experience.

A fair number of these complaints do point in the direction of the scratches showing up in less than a fortnight of owning the smartphone. The low yields of sapphire glass caused Apple to redesign the display for the two new models, where a segment of the bezel was removed which originally offered a degree of protection to the display. Instead, it could be the curved glass on the new handsets that have contributed to the ease of how the display is scratched. Apple has no written policy concerning a scratched display, so you might or might not get your display fixed at the Apple Store.
