Getting a new iPhone is always an exciting time but the problem is that you can only keep it looking pristine for so long, especially if you don't like using a case and a screen protector. Keeping that display scratch-free is a full-time job in itself, and it's always going to get a scratch eventually. Screen protectors are one possible answer, but they do ruin the look somewhat. Thankfully, a new report suggests that Apple is on the case and a potential screen upgrade could make a big difference when the iPhone 17 rolls around.
If the report is accurate, Apple is already working on a scratch-resistant layer that will make the iPhone 17 — and presumably the iPhone 17 Pro — harder to scratch. It's said that the technology is already being developed but that it will come too late for the iPhone 16 and iPhone 16 Pro devices, which is a shame for those looking to upgrade this September.
