Find out how Apple’s new iPhone 14 fared in this severe durability test that sees the handset scratched, scraped, bent, and even burned.
Popular YouTuber Zack Nelson 0f JerryRigEverything fame recently got his hands on the new iPhone 14, meaning only one thing: Time for a durability test.
In a video (below) posted on Monday, Nelson quickly sets to work, conducting his familiar scratch test on the iPhone 14’s Ceramic Shield, a toughened display that Apple launched with the iPhone 12 series in 2020.
After taking his tools to the iPhone 14’s display, we see “extremely faint” scratches at level 6 on the Mohs hardness scale, and more prominent scratches at level 7. We can take that as a decent enough result. “I do think Apple’s Ceramic Shield is an improvement over normal tempered glass,” Nelson concludes.
