iphone 16 / 17 screen protector

Quick reading kinda indicates that they are no longer necessary.
Anyone disagree?

I'd never run any phone without a screen protector - no matter what's said; the screens are still easily marked

Spigen screen protector fitted - never need to worry about marking the screen again

they are a must IMO, even the new resistance 7 iphone screens still get micro scratches

ESR with their applicator case are the best, spigen next

I have a 16pro which usually always has a protector fitted. I fractured it just before a work trip and when I came back and took it to Apple for a new one, it already had micro scratches.

I use the apple belkin one, fitted new. Bit more expensive but comes with a lifetime warranty. If bought from Apple the replacement process is easy, they (Apple Store) will replace FOC no questions asked for as long as you own the phone.

I like the JETECH ones with the frame tool which makes fitting the protector straight dead easy. Already replaced one on my wife's 16 after six months as she'd cracked it. I'd much rather replace the £2 protector than a damaged screen.

^^ I use these. Cheap and easy DIY.

Which is great, but you have the inconvenience of having to go back to Apple each time.

I've always used a screen protector - why wouldn't you. They're no longer noticeable.

The relatively new installation method (with the frame) ensures a perfect fit and, if you're methodical with preparation (sticky tab included) then they go on perfectly.

Another vote for these. Very easy to apply at home and do the job.
