I was surprised to read this comment, because I was just recently feeling pleased about how pristine my iPhone X still looks after 7 months. I carry it in my jeans pocket, sans case, all the time.

Examining the phone very closely under a bright light, I was able to find a handful of tiny scratches on the iPhone X display. I cannot see them in normal use at all; the phone basically still looks brand new.

In comparison, my previous phone was a jet black iPhone 7 Plus, and the display got three very visible scratches in one year of use. The back, of course, was full of micro scratches, but that was expected.
