I’m still having issues with iPhone X screen protectors.

re:

Is that covered under Apple care plus and will that’s scratch affect Face ID?

I’m not quite sure since I’ve never bought Apple Care.
I don’t think it’ll affect Face ID since the scratch is on the left hand side, not the right hand side.

So is that considered cosmetic damage or accidental damage ?

It would be better if you used the quote feature when replying to posts. That way it’s easier to follow the thread.

Why are you asking us? If you think the Apple store did it take it back to them.

Scratches aren’t considered physical damage. Apple considers it normal wear and tear.

So it’s not accidental damage but cosmetic damage ?

Will that affect the Face ID reading?

That is correct. They consider cosmetic damage normal wear and tear. Highly unlikely it would affect Face ID.

Scratches aren't covered under AppleCare Plus. Scratches are just normal wear and tear.

I have a feeling when some people walk into the Apple store employees eyes get stuck way back up in their head.

It cracks me up when people say I don’t use a screen protector because I have AC+. It’s like AC+ doesn’t cover your scratches screen.

True, it doesn't cover scratches, but it covers just about everything else. In my experience (so, ymmv) I only get micro scratches of the screen's oleophobic coating and not of the glass when I don't use a protector. I can deal with this, as they can only be seen in the right lighting conditions. Most protectors also don't cover the entire screen, so many drops to the corners and/or edges of the device break the glass anyways. Perhaps they aren't as severe with a protector as without, but its a risk I'm willing to take and to each their own.

If the whitestone dome glass wasn't $50, I'd give that a try. I hate how most screen protectors only cover the flat surface of the glass, leaving a gap all the way around where lint, dirt, etc. collect between the edge of the protector and many cases. I've tried a few brands of these types, and the X protectors I've used have not only had this problem, but also have had pocket lint that sticks to the side of the protector.

I'd rather deal with the micro scratches of the oleophobic coating than the crummy protectors.

Not seeing that myself with a spigen glass and caudabe sheath. The only thing i have ever seen collect lint/dirt is Apple silicone case.

Not me. I resell my phones. To get top dollar, there can’t be any micro scratches on the screen. None. Or it just kills the value or people just go onto the next phone.
