I'm looking to see scratch test Of new
iPhone. Haven't seen any yet. Maybe to soon.
 
I can't go to youtube without seeing scratch video, crush videos, how durable videos, xs/xs max bashing videos... and you ask on a forum if there are any yet?
Go to youtube.... go to a search engine... type your question. done. But I guess asking others to find stuff for you is easier.

Sorry, but reading all the threads started in the past few days is getting hilarious at how inept people are, or how much of a troll they are trying to be.

I searched YouTube and for some reason it was only showing the x. Not the xs.

Also in theory what is hardness of 6 the equivalent to in real life products that come.in contact with your iPhone.
 
Gorilla glass is glass is glass in terms of hardness scale scratching at a 6.

"Durable" is more in terms of impact/drops.

I think minerals like sand are around a 6, keys aren’t supposed to be able to scratch it but I’ve seen tons of people who said they put their keys in their pocket (with the X) and it caused scratches. But you can watch videos of people trying to scratch it with keys and it doesn’t do anything.
 
It’s interesting how apple claim that it’s the most durable glass in a smartphone. How do they test this? Surely to claim that they must have a standard test, but can’t see anything on the website
 
These Videos are mainly pointless out to gain views and clicks. They don’t indoctrinate ‘real world usage tests’ of what the user might experience. I understand the point behind these videos and they are somewhat interesting that they’re trying to Test the durability through scratching and breaking the displays, but it isn’t equivalent what the user will encounter. Every year, my iPhone displays have held up well, and I *don’t* use screen protectors.

Exactly they mean nothing as every drop is some slightly different angle. And if you notice some break at waist height and then some take numerous drops above the head to break. If the tests meant anything there would be consistency; all break at overhead first time or x times, and all break at waist height too

The odds of getting it exact in the real world is slim to none. And rolling your phone in a box of nails is not real world either.
