Default iPhone 4S more oleophobic than iPhone 4?

So after using my iPhone 4S for a while, it seems like it shows a considerably less amount of finger prints and smudges than that of my iPhone 4. I hadnt really noticed it until now, but I'm findin myself wiping the screen off far less often than my iPhone 4. Did anyone else notice this?

I never had the iPhone4 but my 9800 always had the worst finger prints.

I usually give my 4S a good wipe down once a day. I can't stand dirty screens. I also find that I wash my hands more since using an all-touch device to prevent fingerprints.

Hahaha. It seems kind of disturbing that we are washing our hands more frequently to ensure that are electronics remain clean. Who gives a damn about our hands, right?

I have a screen protector on and the finger prints seem to show. I'm getting a Zagg, though, and I hope it won't be so bad on that.

If your iPhone is white the Zagg will yellow around the home button ... Did on my iPad 2 and my white 4 so I'm going to try the Steinheil ultra coat screen protector and see how it does
