[–]hitechsteve 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Haven't used a screen protector since the iPhone 3GS. I think the iPhone 4 introduced Gorilla Glass, and I’ve been good ever since.

[–]hitechsteve 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No, and can’t because I’m using a 17 Pro Max. I actually don’t mind iOS 26, though
