Micro Scratch on iPhone 16 pro max

I dropped my iPhone 16pm yesterday and it chipped my screen protector, it was a tiny chip with some cracks. But today when I went to change it to a new screen protector I noticed a tiny scratch on my iPhone screen it's not very visible unless I place the phone at an angle under light and I cannot see it with the new screen protector on.


Has this happened to anyone else? I was not expecting a scratch on my phone given I had a screen protector on :(

Chips On an iPhone Screen:

Yes —-I had this issue with my iPhone 6. So, I learned from it and use liquid adhesive and an OtterBox, and have had no hardware dames on my iPhone 13 Pro since using these. So, read the following…


How to Protect your Phone:

Based on personal experience...

A. Screen Protector to Use:

Liquid Coverer: Is this covered under AppleCare? If so, don't use any liquid adhesive. If not covered under AppleCare, then what to use is Liquid Armor or Liquid Nano. Note that covering it with this would cancel any coverage whatsoever.


B. Which Case to Use:

I'm an OtterBox user. So, after Puget a new screen, consider using one of those. I've droppemy iPhone so many times, and these have prevented all damages, in all the years I've used these.
