hey what's up guys I'm Kim PhD here and it's 2014 everything leaks and this is the second video making about the iPhone 6 this time with an exclusive part this is the front glass from the iPhone 6 tell you 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 rumors 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 0% 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 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 cover 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 ok 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 normally do with the phone but I press down really hard this is way past any pressure that's going to be in your pocket I scraped them drag them across the panel apply 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 going to do with your phone 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 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 this 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 sunny 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 the 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 a glass I'm using two accord 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 order 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 and bed.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
