Do you remember how all the rumors before the presentation of the iPhones 6 and 6 Plus did they point out that these would bring a sapphire screen? I also. And of the disappointment when I saw that it was not like that, I still remember more. Finally, as we well know, we did not see a trace of the sapphire crystal on the screens of the new iPhones, perhaps because they wanted to surprise with the Apple Watch.
And it is that one of the main differentiators both in the specifications and in the price of the different models of the apple company's watch is precisely this type of crystal. The kind of Most basic Apple WatchThe Sport does not have a sapphire crystal, while the other two superior models do have it incorporated.
The Apple Watch screen is going to be -in theory- more exposed to bumps and scratches than the iPhone, so one of the main concerns when it comes to getting one is how well the glass will resist to the events of our activities everyday. Since iPhonefixed want to solve that little doubt for us, so they have developed a resistance test with a unit of the 38 mm Apple Watch sapphire crystal.
If until now we had any doubts about whether it was going to scratch easily or not, the video leaves no room for doubt: it holds up and very well. It would be interesting to see a comparison (which will appear when the watch goes on sale) between the screen of the Sport model and that of the Apple Watch "just", where I am sure the difference in prices between the two models would be evident.
I love the video, especially the part where it goes black, and be careful! more than a half. Good work, it shows that you have looked at it.
The difference between the Sport and the "plain" is £ 180, does that mean Apple is charging me that amount for the bloody sapphire and steel instead of aluminum ?! I find it a bit expensive.
what a scam!
The price seems good to me, considering that the hardest material after sapphire is diamond.
