hey what is up guys i'm kid bhd here and
it's 2014
everything leaks and this is the second
video i'm making about the iphone 6 this
time with an exclusive part
this is the front glass from the iphone
6. let's take a closer look so a lot of
you guys will remember the last video i
did about the 4.7 inch iphone 6 model
which a lot of you guys saw but this
here isn't a mock-up this is an actual
straight off the assembly line iphone 6
part from apple and it's the entire 4.7
inch front panel of glass including a
sheet of sapphire crystals so this is
important because of its existence we
can basically confirm that yeah there
will be an iphone 6 with a 4.7 inch
display and we now know that this 4.7
inch model will have this sapphire
display not just gorilla glass so there
was some speculation that only a larger
5.5 inch iphone would get the sapphire
display but now we know that rumor is
not true so what is so great about
sapphire crystal well it has a number of
advantages over gorilla glass which like
i said is on the front of the iphone 5s
but the two main things you need to know
are that number one sapphire is an
extremely high quality material and
number two it is really durable now i
say high quality material because this
thing is paper thin like literally the
same thickness as a sheet of paper and
it's perfectly see-through i would say
zero percent opacity apple already
actually uses sapphire in the iphone 5s
on the camera lens and the home button
for this reason so the camera lens needs
to be a super high quality material and
very durable and crystal clear to take
those great shots through it and the
home button also needs to be crystal
clear to be able to read your
fingerprint through the glass so again
it's sapphire so that would be the
number one thing i noticed just messing
around with this panel and holding it
looking through it putting it over my
eye basically you notice how little
distortion there is and how exact the
colors stay there's absolutely no color
shift while looking through the sapphire
glass now another thing i noticed while
cleaning it with a microfiber is this
particular panel seems really okay with
bending at least a little bit a little
bit of torque a little bit of flex a
little bit of give here and there and
i've never handled a similar 4.7 inch
gorilla glass panel but assuming this is
sapphire i got really curious about
exactly how durable this is so i broke
out a knife and i broke out the keys and
i did some scratching or at least i
thought i was doing some scratching
basically i took the knife to the
sapphire pretty hard i applied some deep
pressure really pushed it down and i got
nothing
so then i moved on and i did it with my
keys again this is way beyond what you
would normally do with the phone but i
pressed down really hard this is way
past any pressure that's going to be in
your pocket i scraped them dragged them
across the panel applied a lot of
pressure still nothing and then i went
on to basically stab the thing pretty
hard right in the middle and drag the
point of the knife around the surface
with some serious pressure again well
beyond stuff you're ever gonna do with
your phone uh and i got no results so
clearly you don't need a screen
protector here and lastly i tried to
bend it first like seriously bend it so
at first i was kind of tentative because
i thought maybe there was a chance i
might break it uh maybe shatter it but i
slowly realized there is absolutely no
way i can break this display under my
own power there's no chance i have a
feeling i could drop a rock on it but
really i couldn't get the surface to
even scratch a little bit at all the
worst blemish on the surface was
actually my fingerprint marks and the
dust from handling it so much so it's
not attached to a phone with a weight or
anything so i couldn't do a drop test or
a corner impact test or any of the
important stuff to see if it would
shatter but from my experience and from
what i've tried it's almost impossible
to scratch the screen with any regular
use so that's really exciting for this
new iphone i also have you can see here
the home button part with the touch id
sensor which is the exact same size as
the iphone 5s by the way so this
sapphire and the new 4.7 inch sapphire
glass panel are pretty much your best
look at what we have on the front of the
iphone 6 so far you can really imagine
what this new iphone is going to look
like huge thanks to sony dixon again for
hooking up these parts he's been super
reliable in the past with this apple
stuff so no hesitation here and we have
a better look than ever at what the
iphone 6 is going to look like really
what i'm most excited for even if it
isn't any of the durability stuff it's
just how high quality this sapphire
material is how clear it is i think this
is what they're going to make a big deal
about check it out it is just about as
good quality as the glass i'm using to
record this video i don't know if that
says much i don't know if that's
something that every front panel again
on any smartphone will do but it's
something to note this is an insanely
clear
super high quality material and i'm
pumped for more phones at least or to
see the first phone to have a sapphire
front panel so anyway this has been it
thanks for watching this is the front
panel of the iphone 6. feel free to
share this out embed this talk about it
wherever ask questions on twitter if you
want to know more thanks for watching
i'll talk to you guys in the next video
peace
