The Best iPhone 12 Pro Max Screen Protectors

iPhone displays have generally been fragile — and that’s a truth that’s held all the way from the first iPhone, through the iPhone 6S, all the way until the iPhone 11 Pro Max. For the iPhone 12 Pro Max, Apple introduced a new display technology developed in conjunction with Corning: Ceramic Shield. Ceramic Shield mixed Nano Ceramic crystals into the display glass, which Apple promises will make your phone four times as resistant to damage from drops than previous iPhones.

Time will tell whether these new displays live up to the hype, but with that much real estate, you may want to do something extra to protect that vast expanse of glass. Slapping a screen protector on your iPhone never hurts.
