This test shows that the sapphire used in the iPhone is no less resistant than that of the watches

Resistance test of the Sapphire of the iPhone camera lens

An endurance test carried out in mid-September put into question the use of sapphire in the protective glass of the camera lens and the Touch ID of the iPhone 7. Shortly after, Phil Schiller responded on Twitter that those accusations were not true, for what the doubt was something more than reasonable. Now, JerryRigEverything has done his own test and, according to him, the sapphire used in the iPhone 7 does not last less than that used in traditional watches.

On the other hand, what the following video demonstrates is that the sapphire lens and the Touch ID of the iPhone It is not as resistant as others used in watches from brands such as Tissot. This would mean that Apple uses a sapphire sheet on top of the crystal, which would explain that it is more easily marked than the sapphire used in high-end watches. According to this test, the sapphire of the iPhone 7 scratches at number 6, while the sapphire used in high-end watches scratches at number 8.

The sapphire used in the iPhone 7 is the same as that of previous models

At this point, it should be made clear that Apple has made no changes to the iPhone 7. The sapphire compound used in the iPhone since iPhone 5 to the latest model released in September are just as tough

JerryRigEverything questions how much sapphire there will be in the iPhone's camera lens and Touch ID, but also drops that the reason only a sapphire sheet is used on top of the glass is none other than production costs. Although at first it makes sense, personally it does not seem like a reason if we consider that the cheapest iPhone 7 is priced at € 769.

Since the video compares the resistance of the sapphire of the iPhone components with that of the watches, it would have been interesting to include in the comparison the Apple Watch. In any case, we cannot rule out that he will make a similar video with the apple clock in the future.
