Unfortunately the iPhone 11 Pro has a softer screen, I had mine accumulating permanent scratches within just a few days which surprised me as every other phone I’ve owned had no issues without a screen protector.

So iPhone 11 Pro max become the first phone I had to buy a screen protector for, really disappointing in such an expensive phone.

Do you keep it inside a purse or in a pocket with keys?

I got mine on launch and have zero scratches. I've even zoned out at work and started writing on the screen with a pen a few times, but it's still perfectly smooth. I grabbed a piece of metal and started scratching at my screen halfway through this post just to double check, and it's still fine.

Do scratches really matter anymore? The screens now get so bright I don’t see them unless I’m really looking for them. Cracks are the far bigger problem.
Agreed. If I turn the screen off and tilt my phone I can see hairline scratches but when its on I can't see anything so who cares.
