With every passing day, fresh details about Apple’s upcoming iPhone 6 are uncovered and now we have a detailed walkthrough of the 11.938-cm (4.7-inch) Sapphire display from the device.
The display module has been put through its testing paces by YouTube star Marques Brownlee. So far Apple has made use of Sapphire glass only to cover the camera lens and the TouchID fingerprint sensor but now it seems that the company will be using Sapphire for the display of the iPhone 6 as well, which would bem from many points than one, mark a move away from Corning’s Gorilla Glass solution.
Late last year, Apple had inked a deal with GT Advanced Technologies to deliver it with Sapphire crystals that had raised speculations about the possibility of the next-gen iPhone making use of a Sapphire display.
The video released showcases how clear and robust the display is, which is why Apple uses it to cover the camera lens. To underpin his point, Brownlee bends the display in various directions and puts it through a knife and key scratch test and the display passes the perils sans a single scratch on it.
