iPhone 13 Pro Max 13 Pro Max scratching is a joke

I initially didn’t know what people were talking about when they said their cases were dust magnets. I don’t see much dust but I do know what you were talking about with the silicone case. The gel cases do not collect dust at all though and I have been using them since 2013.
Each to their own. The phone is a tool to use any way you want. I have a thing for imperfections and don’t like dinks and scratches on my devices. Phones are so sturdy now that you can drop them repeatedly and only cause superficial damage. If you don’t care about imperfections, using a naked phone is fine.

Sorry! But Then covering your phone shouln't be that issue you should be rather concern about protecting it from unwanted scratches!

^^^ This, exactly
But that seems to be too much like hard work for some folk...
Why, I cannot understand?!
The hell would you have a device like this for if you're not prepared to protect it; but then come on here whining when it gets marked/scratched!
Makes as much sense as a playdoh crash helmet... ?
I’ve always believed that those who refuse to use cases to protect their phones are utilitarian types who only care about using their devices as a tools. That’s a fine mindset to have but to come here and cry after causing easily avoidable damage is both ironic and hilarious.
The moral of the story is - if you don’t like scratches, dinks, cracks and other imperfections, use a case & a screen protector. If you like using a naked phone and aren’t bothered with superficial damage, don’t come on here crying about it when your expensive toy ends up with scratches and scuff marks ?.
I don't mind when they come here and cry, I think it's amusing when they do.
They knew better.
Funniest part is when they blame the phone!
I just think it's funny when the case scratches the iphone itself lol
It’s ridiculous that manufacturers have created beautiful but fragile devices, that need to be covered with ugly cases to be functional, creating a lucrative case market. But is even more ridiculous that users support such decisions, what happened to the days where devices were usable on their own? I guess you must be one of those people that put plastic covers on their couches, instead of expecting them to be high quality and durable.I don't mind when they come here and cry, I think it's amusing when they do.

The case doesn't make it functional. The case makes it SAFE!
Don't be so judgemental.
At 70 years old, I bought my first ever "smartphone", an iPhone 13 Pro.
Having never had a smartphone before, and unaware of all the whining about how easily damaged the phones are, my inclination was to immediately get a case and screen protector anyway.
I'm well aware of how easily damaged things can be.
My 38 year career was based upon it.
My couches remain uncovered, as do my car seats.
I'm careful to not sit down with scissors in my back pockets, and expect "wear and tear" where appropriate.
My camera gear, electronics, etc remains well used and in pristine condition.
I'm very careful with it, and take good care of it.
Right off the bat, from the start, I saw the phone as something easily damaged and mitigated that possibility.
You can go ahead and blame the phone!
I'm amused!

I’ve been using a stupid Anker lightning cable whilst overseas. Charge port area has a few line scratches that were never there when using original Apple cables. Same with all cases never had issues with apple cases. But one has to take care that sand or dirt entering into case is removed a few times a week from case else it’ll scratch the iPhone
Like with many things in life. The beautiful ones are the most fragile. 🤣😍
Many people look at this quite differently.
Have you not noticed how much fun people are having buying and trying different cases, showing them off, sharing the pros & cons, dressing up their phones with a custom touch?
When I bought my 13 Pro several months ago (first smartphone, no less), I had NO IDEA of the scope of the accessory market involved!
Usually because of sand and debris between the two.
I can think of some other places where that can be a problem! 🤣 🤣
Didn’t use to be like that ….durability was sought after in a quality product.
I get that. Some people enjoy putting stickers on their laptops or third party accessories in their cars. And they could continue to do so if the iPhones were resistant.
I prefer to keep clean and simple…but can’t do that just because of how fragile they’re.
During my career, I learned early on that taking care of a precision instrument is the key to having it perform properly at all times, in every respect.
As a result I learned to keep my tools and equipment clean, calibrated, and safe from harm.
A case is only ugly if you think it’s ugly and it’s purely subjective. They are certainly less frustrating than you guys who seem to complain about scratching your iPhones lol. It all seems like some kind of self inflicted exercise to me.
See, now you're just having a paddy-pants... ?
Devices, each year are costing more & more... No one wants the likes of the Nokia 3310 any more
Folk want the best they can afford; but it's a personal choice whether they protect them or not with your so-called 'ugly' cases ? That in itself is a laughable statement...
Cases again are a personal choice; myself I prefer rugged cases, the Otterbox case I've got on my IP 13 Pro Max is superb; protects my iPhone from all the elements including my slab like rough hands and the chalk I use for training...
People using cases isn't ridiculous or supporting a decision at all; it's a personal choice
Protect your phone the best you can means it's nigh on mark free and in excellent condition
Don'r protect your phone and you run the risk of damaging it; again, a personal decision...
^^^ This exactly; next they'll be saying its someone else's fault that their phones got scratched and they want a refund or reimbursing...
Hell; won't spend £10-£30 on a decent case, but will cry into their pillow at night when their c£1k phone gets damaged! ?
Jesus wept... 'Ow Much (and I'm not even from Yorkshire)... ??
Exact words that came out of my mouth when I first saw the price. ??
Only reason I picked one up, I had a $100 voucher that I had to use.
I can vouch for this charger, had it since mid last year, doesn’t leave marks on phone cases or back of the phone, unlike apple poorly designed MagSafe puck.
Ah yes it does seem that way the way they word it there. Thank you
