Why does the iPhone 17 need a screen protector?
The iPhone 17 model features an ultra-thin and extensively curved OLED display that:
- is more sensitive to shocks
- cracks more easily at the corners
- is expensive to replace (€389–499)
- collects scratches without protection
That's why protecting your screen is more important than ever.
