According to the Merriam-Webster’s Medical Dictionary, the word Oleophobic means “having or relating to a lack of strong affinity for oils“. Oh and its pronounced \-ˈfō-bik\. Well, for the rest of us this pretty much means that the new iPhone 3G S screen is coated with \-ˈfō-bik\ and is easier to clean than its predecessors. According to Apple, If your iPhone has an oleophobic coating on the screen (iPhone 3G S only), simply wipe your iPhone’s screen with a soft, lint-free cloth to remove oil left by your hands and face. Cool. My 2G iPhone gets pretty greased up within a day of good usage, but I must say it’s really easy to clean. I also just use a lint-free cloth without the use of window cleaners. I suppose the new screen doesn’t get so oily anyway. By the way, i don’t have any of those plastic covers over my screen – I hate them.
What’s your iPhone coated with?
