Has anyone scratched their iPhone lenses before? Regardless of models.

I have been using lens protector (so called "sapphire" shit) and the sapphire glass actually got a tiny scratch now.
Been considering to remove it but i'm quite scared to scratch the lenses unintentionally. Using iPhone 13 Pro.

So wanna check if anyone has any experience like that?

Not sure, seems like the quality is still normal?

All iPhones already have Sapphire lenses. Maybe not 100% Sapphire but it is very scratch-resistant. 🫠

So far I have not ever had those ‘lense protectors’ on any of my iPhones before (been using every generation of iPhone since 2007). Main reason being image quality would be affected (maybe marginally but I am very particular about image quality) unless you are going to get a very high quality branded lens protector (not sure if such a thing exists).

Chip off? You mean the lenses itself? Does it affect the quality?

Okie la. Then I might just risk it and forego the protector in the future.
