Re: iPhone X anker glass issue
There is a current thread with a recent conversation about a rainbow effect with a screen protector, and from what I gather, it’s normal, but I could be mistaken.

It is normal. Since the glass protector sits right at the edge of the OLED display. If you get a screen protector that goes a little over the display, like the Belkin, then it won’t produce any rainbow effect.

Re: iPhone X anker glass issue
It's hard to see but is it right on the edge? That's a known "issue" with glass screen protectors and the OLED screen. Is the protector aligned exactly centered left to right? If it's slightly off center and the edge of the glass is at the edge of the display, it will show a rainbow.
My Spigen does it on that edge too because it's very slightly off. I don't see it anymore (it's there but I don't notice it like I did initially).

I used the alignment tray anker provide but other people say it’s normal.

I stopped using screen protectors because of this. Had the rainbow on my iPhone 6S Plus and have been rocking the naked screens ever since.

Re: iPhone X anker glass issue
I have the same protector but the rainbow effect is at the top under the notch, not on the sides. Not a big enough distraction to try to install it again.

Re: iPhone X anker glass issue
As was previously stated, if the edge overlaps with the actual screen you will get this effect. Light diffusion will happen at the edges of the glass. Put on your protector precisely and you won't have this problem. I applied two Spigen protectors so far on two iPhone X phones and neither had this problem.

Correct, there’s a few dots up there that constitutes of different sensors.

Re: iPhone X sensors question
I was using a black Belkin cleaning cloth from a previous screen protector install from iPhone 7 to clean camera lens.
When I was cleaning I notice dust under lens of iPhone X and The phone is three days old under iPhone upgrade program how does apple handle this one ?

Re: iPhone X sensors question
According to Apple's website, the proximity sensor is located on the left side of the speaker/mic. That area circled doesn't seem to have any sensor at all.

Re: iPhone X sensors question
Dear lord. Not again.
You have been to the Apple Store with the same problem a dozen times in the past few months.
You know very well how they handle this kind of stuff.
What is the real reason you’re asking it, again, now?

Re: iPhone X sensors question
Because mine has two specs from the factory I notice it while clean the back of the phone from my finger prints. The apple store tells me they handle lots of issues like this and even water damage phones.
I know that my iPhone 7 has this issue but that phone was a couple of months old my x I got it 4 days ago in mail

Like I said, you know very well how Apple handles this kind of claims. Regardless of how and where you got it.
