iPhone / iPad: Remove scratches from the display - the best tips

After a while, the first scratches accumulate on the iPhone and iPad displays. We'll show you how to remove them.

How to remove scratches from iPhone or iPad display

In most cases, you can polish small scratches yourself. However, only a specialist can remove deeper scratches.

• You get the best results with a polishing paste for touch screens. This costs around 5 euros on Amazon or in electronics stores. However, toothpaste has also proven itself as a home remedy.
• A cotton towel, a piece of cotton wool or, if necessary, a piece of household paper is suitable for incorporation.
• Also helpful is a microfiber cloth for cleaning, as well as some tape to protect the iOS device.

iPhone / iPad: Remove scratches from the display

1. Clean the display thoroughly with a microfiber cloth so that no dirt later gets into the paste. If necessary, a slightly damp household paper can help here.
2. Then tape the home button and the microphone above the display. These parts could become blocked by the polish or otherwise damaged.
3. Take very little of the polish or toothpaste and rub it in a circular motion on the display. For the best possible results, you should polish the display for at least 3 minutes.
4. Then you can wipe the display slightly damp and look at the result. If you are not satisfied, you can start another round.
