 Not sure what the new iPhones are using but it scratched the first day I got it. I set it down on my coffee table and slid it some when I picked it and now have a nice gouge.

But also, I have never had a screen crack when I use a glass protector. The protector cracks, and I replace it.

I had one screen crack and it was when I neglected to put a screen cover on it. 
 Lol thats shitty...

I bought three OEM screen protestors that all broke within a year, thought fuck it I'll just replace the screen next time

5 years later *many* drops and not a crack thank god

Some very minor scratches but tbh it looks new, very impressive. Wonder why iPhone is so bad then thought they'd be better  
 It was my work phone so at least I didn't pay for it. Shouldn't have scratched, but well...

It's kind of funny how anecdotal it is.  I always used a screen protector, hardly an issue. I think it started peeling off and a decided not to replace it. A week later I dropped my phone and shattered the screen.

I've used protectors ever since. Did have to replace another one because the corners of it started cracking. But now I keep a spare in the drawer.
