Isopropyl alcohol (IPA) wipes can potentially remove or damage oleophobic coatings. Oleophobic coatings are designed to repel oils and other hydrophobic substances, such as fingerprints, from the surface of a device or screen. These coatings are commonly found on smartphones, tablets, and other electronic devices.
So, you and others can choose to either have fingerprints on their screens or germs. Which do you prefer?
EDIT: Never is a long time. Since this seems to be a contentious, controversial issue, I'll just copy and paste from Apple and let each person decide what to do:
Alcohol should never be used on any screens! It adversely affects the coatings!
It's fine if you have a glass screen protector on it. Never had any problems

The thin pads are usually wet but I like these much, much thicker BD pads better for wiping down electronics and screens, etc, in addition to glucose monitoring.

Well, you're partly right, Mr Helper.

Is it OK to use a disinfectant on my iPhone?
Using a 70 percent isopropyl alcohol wipe, 75 percent ethyl alcohol wipe, or Clorox Disinfecting Wipes, you may gently wipe the exterior surfaces of your iPhone.
I got the Curad medium prep pads from amazon earlier for $4.49, 4 boxes so $1.12 per box and they were good. These are 2x the price.. I like BD but 2x the price isnt worth it. Not on sale, and you need some, these are reasonable.

The Curad medium prep pads are now 4/$10 so a little more expensive than these, but sounds like a better deal.

So, if I'm interpreting you correctly, there is only one choice (alcohol based products) or nothing? Not true (nor am I "partially right")! Nor is that quote at all appropriate, regardless of the source, as it was referring to "exterior surfaces", not screens! Insofar as germs are concerned, it won't be long before they take up residence again after wiping your phone with alcohol swabs and then handling it. You did get the "Mr. Helper" part right, so thanks!
How about these two products (I've used both successfully): https://www.amazon.com/ZEISS-Mobi...C98&sr=8-3 https://www.microcenter.com/produ...-of-10-duo

That may be true (if it's specifically a glass screen protector with no coating), but my response was based on someone who's likely using alcohol swabs on raw screens, which isn't the proper way to clean screens.

A screen isn't an exterior surface? How do you figure that? If a screen isn't an exterior surface, wouldn't Apple had said so? If Apple didn't want you to clean screens like an exterior surface, wouldn't Apple had said so? Go read what Samsung says.
Those two links are to products that are simply moist wipes for removing particular things but I don't see anything about them doing anything about germs. So, it's just a little wet cloth.
You're logic is because something will get dirty in the future is reason enough to never clean it at all? That's just great.
Finally, the alcohol wipes removing the coating, notice we didn't talk about how often the wipes were going to be used on the screen. Imagine the difference between using an alcohol wipe 6 times a day versus once a week. That sort of thing makes a difference. As I said before, this coating prevents fingerprints. This coating isn't holding the screen together or holding the phone together. The screen is glass. Alcohol isn't going to dissolve glass.

Tbh, after paying $1k for a cell phone, I wouldn't want to dissolve the oleophobic coating either. And let's be real, this is the same Apple that was pushing updates to intentionally slow down their phone and force you to upgrade. Planned obsolescence. I don't trust Apple, but I do trust Science. I'm sure there are other products out there that are screen-friendly. You don't have to compromise friend.
