I know this sounds like a stupid question, but what happens if you quickly hold a lighter to an iPhone screen?

Would it burn or leave a stain? Or would it just wipe away?

The reason I ask is because I know the screen is glass and glass shouldn’t really burn from a lighter. I’m debating it with my buddy and he thinks it would get messed up and I don’t think it would (in short burns).

Not sure if those people who test durability have any videos just to see what happens.

The glass screen has a coating on it. If you're confident that it won't be damaged by trying to burn it, go right ahead.
 
I’m not doing it. Jeez...I guess that’s what happens when you ask questions in here haha.
 
If you use normal lighter nothing will happen but i decided to use jet lighter and now i have one rough matte spot on my screen which is making me mad and I don’t know if theres a way to remove it. Im thinking of trying to polish it with car wax but I don’t know

It will burn and leave a stain... you've never watched JerryRigEverything on YouTube? He literally shows what happens when you do that.

Wax won't do it you need something a little stronger like TCut!
