Apple hardware chief doesn't want you to use iPhone screen protectors, here is why
Apple’s new VP of hardware engineering Tom Marieb has admitted that he doesn’t want you to put a screen protector on your iPhone. In his words, seeing a screen protector makes his “skin crawl.”
When buying expensive phones, especially iPhones, most users want to use them for as long as possible without damage. Therefore, most people use back cases and screen protectors that protect the phone from drops.
Apple's Senior Vice President of Hardware Engineering, Tom Marieb, stated that iPhone users are bothered by the need for screen protectors. According to Marieb, Ceramic Shield 2 is durable enough against everyday scratches to eliminate the need for an additional protector.
Tom Malyb, Apple's Vice President of Hardware Engineering, candidly revealed that he gets "goosebumps" when he sees people using screen protectors on their iPhones. The reason behind this is the "Ceramic Shield" introduced with the iPhone 17 series.
Many people not only put their cell phones in protective cases, but also put a screen protector on them. Tom Marieb commented on this habit.
