He has no livelihood, he is still in School! He has got money from payment from manufacturers and ads. And why would you buy a camera used to make the latest Hollywood summer blockbuster to make You Tube videos? It's pointless considering the compression You Tube applies to the videos.

Similar to sandpaper.
School costs money. I was dirt poor going through college because of tuition costs and my part time job was my livelihood. Marques has worked hard for his money so he deserves it.
I'm not sure you understand how hard it is to change something design related this close to a release. If they were to change something now, the phone would not be released in September.
The phone design and material selection is done. Guaranteed. This is the final build.
Well that's pointless then. Wonder if they're even gonna tout the screen at all.
This is being presented as a sapphire display for the next iPhone. Whether or not it is actually used in the next iPhone, it was pretty clear that the panel shown in the video had little benefit over Gorilla Glass 3. If this is indeed sapphire-infused or whatever, the entire "sapphire" selling point would be a gimmick.
Please elaborate on how I am an Android fanboy.
I wouldnt call it a gimmick any part thats only been hurt by sandpaper, an arrow and a car is not a gimmick really
That's really going to throw off my workflow. I like to always be prepared with different kinds of sandpaper and I'm always sure to store them right next to my phone. Lol
I dropped my current iPhone 5s a total of two times. Once on carpet (I was drunk and knocked it off my desk - lol), and the second time, I was in my kitchen, and the phone fell off my lap underneath the table near the corner of the room where there must have been some dust/dirt. I now have 2 scratches on my screen. One is a small nick (but easily visible under sunlight), the second is a deeper nick which is about an inch long, and must have been from a dirt/harder particle that the screen slid up against. I was really mad that my first screen drop on a hard surface resulted in a pretty nasty scratch.
He is sponsored, you don't make enough money from You Tube ads alone to buy the kit he does, I sub to enough channels to know that, and recently it was exposed how games developers pay large sums to You Tube channels to influence their reviews of the games, and that included that Boogie2988 aka Francis guy who apparently thinks simply claiming he has been paid tons by Microsoft lets him off the hook
You should get some common sense mate, Marques is getting paid a lot of money. I even sub to one person who has 80k subs, not the 1.4 million Marques does, but she was sent to the last Olympics and then CES all paid for by Sony, complete with tons of Sony gadgets! Just so they would promote them and give their kit glorious reviews.
So yeah, trust me manufactures pay these channel makers a LOT of money to have their products promoted, the more subs and views they have the more corrupt and biased they most likely are.
Man, you don't know squat about Youtube revenue. Learn some facts before you post your false assumptions.
I love all these Apple lemming calling MKBHD an Android fanboy. Talk about a bunch of little black pots....
OK linked the wrong calculator. I know it's the same angle out. It's been a while for me though. What does the angle of incidence need to be to get a 1cm lateral shift from synthetic sapphire, and what would the angle need to be for GG (or plain glass if GG specs aren't easily available)? That panel looked more like at least 1mm to me and more like 2mm thick, so go with 2mm? Are the angles different enough you could tell with a decent protractor?

5 pages of posts and not one mention of the fact that most superficial scratches are to the oleophobic coating and not the material? For all we know the scratches were done to that coating and the material underneath is made of sapphire. The truth is we won't know until it's formally released.
Frankly I'd be happier if they just use next gen gorilla glass (save that money for other updates to the phone) and keep sapphire for other "unannounced" products in the pipeline.
I mean spend that $25 a phone on making the iphone spill/water resistant - I'd choose that any day over a sapphire display. JMHO...

Does that matter in the slightest? A scratch is a scratch, or can scratches in the coating be removed?
I think a lot of superficial scratches people see are in the oleophobic coating. But sandpaper will go through that coating easily.
It's hard to draw any conclusions from this leaked part but if it is a laminate with the top layer being sapphire then the sandpaper shouldn't scratch it at all.
Can we all just take a moment to realize that one phone that does use pure sapphire for its display, the Vertu Signature Touch, cost upwards of $11,000. Now thats not to say that cost comes purely from the display nor that its impossible to make a pure sapphire display to sell on the iPhone at a reasonable retail price.......buuuuut, with that in mind maybe a composite display doesn't sound so bad...
Rumors suggest sapphire might only be used on higher end phones, so its possible this part is not it.

regardless of any of that, IMO MKBHD is not biased
