    Anyone else with an iPhone 12 notice how scratched their screens are getting? I can't recall having any scratches on the last 3 versions.

    • Apple started using sugar glass for the screens on the 12 - lick it and it will smooth out the pits and scratches.face_melter
    • they got caught with the battery cheat; how else would they get you to buy a new one every 12 mo?Krassy
    • It is the new ceramic shield. Supposed to be much better. Maybe not?inv

    • Krassy. I have the subscription plan. I upgrade every year, and haven't found a reason to stop doing that.mg33
    • @mg33 is it free to upgrade?Krassy
    • Yes. You basically have a 2 year loan that you pay off monthly, but after the first year you can upgrade. You close out the loan and start up a new one.mg33
    • they pushed it big when they started it but it's almost like you don't hear much about it now.mg33
    • so over the course of, say, 6 years you've paid off (purchased) the equivalent amount for 3 phones?Krassy
    • lol @ "free upgrade"! That's one of the most successful marketing/proganda campaigns ever! Nothing is "free" for Christ's sake, they just sucker you intoformed
    • a new contract. Anyone, anywhere, could always do that, Apple just, as always, marketed it as an "advantage" and people lapped it up.formed
