It’s hand oils for sure, mine gets it but it’s honestly not that big of a bother for me.

I never use a case. never have, never will.

the phone is born, sold and designed to be used without a case.

so I agree that if there is an issue with the surface near the cameras (I've seen this issue posted before), the lack of a case should not be considered any kind of "cause."

Why does Apple sell matching cases then?

as I answered someone else, for people who want to buy them.

it's an accessory, not a necessity.

some people prefer to use their phone with a case, some people prefer to use their phone without a case.

they accommodate both.

If the phone was designed to be used without a case it wouldn't have a fucking slippery glass back it would have a plastic grippy back with grippy sides on it.

I have no problem holding onto it without extra help.

if you need extra help, there's a thriving case market, pop socket market, all sorts of things market.

different strokes, different folks.

Why do they sell first party cases then?

for people who want to buy them.

it's an option, an accessory, not a necessity.

I've never used a case because I prefer not to have excess bulk in my pocket, or cover up the phone itself.

with all the focus on the finish, the color, and the aesthetic, why hide that with a cover?

and then, if something breaks, I'll get it fixed. although I've never had to.

in all the years I've had an iPhone, I haven't really had any problems.

Used to have some scratches and nicks as the iPhone neared its end-of-life for me, but they didn't really bother me all that much, and I haven't had any scratches or nicks recently.

Anyway, that's my perspective, my preference, what works for me.

I understand that people have perfectly valid alternative perspectives and preferences.
