Apple wants you to use the iPhone 16 without a case

25 April 2025
It's quite unprecedented.

Sort by:

Yes, using a boring case? No thanks.
A phone 0.2mm full-body skin keeps this beauty scratch-free and still feels like the sleek phone it is. Cases are for hiding design, skins are for enhancing it.

    Ah that's Genius... er.. I mean a quicker way to get you to visit their Geniuses at the store when something breaks. In other news, I wear pants when I go outside - so does my phone.

      if they cover it under warranty, only then it makes sense

        I guess it all depends on how you use your phone.
        I use my phones without cases but with protective glass. I am leaning towards not using protective glass either. 4 years of caseless iphone 12 pro resulted in scratches on the sides but thats it, no scratches on the back or front, it had about 3 falls throughout those years. I now have iphone 16 pro, also caseless, one drop so far, broke the protective glass. Replaced it and so far so good. BUT i know a person who buys iphone almost every 2 years because they break it so often even while using the protective case.

          I always go for the most minimal case, and also a screen protector

            Glass is glass and glass breaks, if not then it scratches and you will end up losing a ton of precious resale value once you want to sell it.

              Ceramic Shield - more Apple buzzwords. Not even made of ceramic.

                The iPhone 16 that I own has rounded corners, unlike my older 13, and I found it much more comfortable and secure to hold without a case. And so I carried it without one, thinking it’s a shame to hide such a beautiful device with the teal colour behind a case.
                But I accidentally dropped it twice, seemingly harmless falls, but surprisingly, I found a few deeper scratches on the bottom right edge of the screen.
                My old iPhone 7 had survived much worse drops without a scratch. So I got a clear cover for the 16.

                    I've never used a case. Or display protection.
                    I use mai phone in raw estate.

                      NeonHD, 25 Apr 2025I think it's generally commonsensical to put on a case... moreI don't take them off even at home. One random fall and now I have a dent on my hip.

                        HAHAHAHA

                        no.

                          Lose your cases so we can charge huge for your screen and back

                            I have dropped my iphone 16 two times accidentally on concrete floor without any damage

                              Apple wants you to buy a new iPhone just in case

                                Always use case and screen protector. I did it the second day after buying my phone. The first day got a small scratch on the screen. Fortunately screen protector was able to hide it. So protect your phone sooner. Don't listen to others.

                                  screen protector is not just protection, it's a replaceable oleophobic coating

                                    Oh, and I guess my point 🙂 is: if a phone is tough enough to use without a case and screen protector, it probably really is a bit of a game changer, just as was said in the article. Less hustle and worry 👍

                                      Only read I use a case is because of it's thickness. I can't hold it properly thanks to my piano size hand. Otherwise I use with a case regardless of whether it's a brick or a paper.

                                        So this is a way to increase profit through screen and back replacements?
