If you were tempted to transfer your existing screen protector to your new phone, or pick up a discounted iPhone 6S screen protector, you may want to reconsider.<\/p>\n<p>Here&#8217;s an excerpt from their article that provides more information:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>We first heard rumblings of compatibility issues over the weekend and were able to independently confirm these changes with help from prominent iPhone accessory maker ZAGG. The major point of contention is the updated earpiece on iPhone 7 which is now wider, perhaps to help with stereo audio support and waterproofing.<\/p>\n<p>The width variance is much more significant on 7 Plus so you\u2019ll almost certainly need to buy a new screen protector. iPhone 7\u2019s earpiece is larger than iPhone 6\/s (but not by much) so there\u2019s a slight chance some legacy protectors could work. Apple also moved the front iSight camera so be careful with screen protectors that feature a front camera cutout.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>It&#8217;s all pretty straight-forward stuff, but it&#8217;s something you might not think about when looking at an iPhone 6S and iPhone 7 side by side.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-65073\" src=\"https:\/\/www.mobilefun.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/iphone-7-screen-protectors.jpg\" alt=\"iphone-7-screen-protectors\" width=\"920\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.mobilefun.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/iphone-7-screen-protectors.jpg 920w, https:\/\/www.mobilefun.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/iphone-7-screen-protectors-300x98.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.mobilefun.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/iphone-7-screen-protectors-768x250.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.mobilefun.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/iphone-7-screen-protectors-450x147.jpg 450w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 920px) 100vw, 920px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>We&#8217;re getting in a fresh new inventory for the iPhone 7, so you can be sure that all of our screen protectors have been tested to\u00a0fit your new iPhone perfectly.
