AppleInsider is reporting that iPhone users are taking to Apple's online support forum to complain about scratches appearing on the screens of their new iPhone 6, even though many of them were kept it in a case. A September 23 thread on Apple's official support forum has become immensely popular. Apple lists the number of page views for the thread at over 100,000, and there are over 670 replies. Clearly, a lot of people are concerned about scratches on their iPhone 6 screen.

One theory for the sudden rise in iPhone scratches is that Apple's new design has removed the extended bumper that prevented surface objects from grazing the device's screen. Phones up to the iPhone 5S featured a slight protrusion in the bumper, but the iPhone 6 actually curves downwards, meaning the screen is more vulnerable to rubbing against items in your pocket.
