  • The iPhone 8 is here.

  • The same basic shape and feel as last year's iPhone 7, but with the huge physical difference

  • of adding a glass back instead of metal.

  • This is my first time touching the iPhone 8 since Apple didn't invite me out to their

  • launch event, not really sure why, and the glass makes it surprisingly heavy which I

  • actually really like.

  • Will this new glass iPhone have the same structural integrity that the metal iPhones had previously.

  • There's literally only one way to find out.

  • Let's get started.

  • [Intro]

  • Apple claims that this is the most durable glass ever on a smartphone.

  • Pretty bold claim.

  • I've tested over 75 different phones now, and I think we should start with the scratch

  • test first.

  • I have a set of Mohs hardness picks that differentiate between different minerals.

  • Plastic screen phones will scratch at a level 3.

  • Glass is usually around a 5 or 6 on Mohs scale and real sapphire scratches at a level 8 or

  • 9.

  • As far as scratching goes, this glass scratched at a level 6 with a deeper groove at a level

  • 7, which is the exact same score that the iPhone 7 got last year, as well as the Note

  • 8 and most other tempered glass flagships these days.

  • When Apple saysmost durablethey might be talking about impacts and drops instead

  • of scratch resistance.

  • Let me know in the comments if you think I should drop test a couple of these phones.

  • Even though the screen is impervious to my razor blade, coins, and keys, I would still

  • recommend a screen protector.

  • Plenty of other dust, minerals, and pocket sand are harder than a level 6 and can cause

  • micro-abrasions.

  • Speaking of sapphire, Apple does claim to use some sapphire on their phones, namely

  • the camera lenses.

  • So we'll have to put that to the test again.

  • The home button is not affected by my razor blade so it won't get damaged or scratched

  • up while sliding around in your pocket or purse, and that's good for durability.

  • Up at the top of the phone we have the 7 megapixels front facing camera tucked under that same

  • slab of front glass, so it is protected against major scratches and damage as well.

  • With previous versions of the iPhone, Apple used a flimsy metal screen to cover the earpiece

  • which sometimes could jostle and fall out.

  • But nowadays they use a more permanent solid metal screen which will not fall out or dislodge.

  • Bonus points for that one.

  • The gold glass iPhone 8 has a solid slab covering the entire rear surface of the phone.

  • Still undamaged by my razor blade.

  • It's also good to see the Apple logo and iPhone text are layered under the glass and not exposed

  • on the surface.

  • This means they won't rub or wear away with use or time.

  • It's pretty cool how the dual tone LED flash blends so perfectly with the pink and gold

  • color of this phone, protected under the glass surface.

  • Things are still looking sleek and aesthetic.

  • One cool thing is that right next to the camera lens, there's a little microphone hole that

  • has a metal grill in it.

  • Apple's attention to small detail and aesthetics is amazing.

  • Most phones just leave it as a hole with no protection.

  • And now for the camera lens.

  • Apple claims that this is made from sapphire.

  • Sapphire is a super premium and expensive and durable material that resists scratching

  • until a level 8 or 9 on Mohs scale.

  • Testing out this claim with my razor blade, which is about a 5 and a half on Mohs scale,

  • leaves no scratches which is great.

  • And that means that this camera lens is just as durable as regular glass so far.

  • But when I test Apple's sapphire with my Mohs picks, I see visible marks at a level 6, and

  • a level 7, and a deep catching groove at a level 8.

  • It looks like Apple is still using their own proprietary blend of sapphire.

  • I delved pretty deep into this subject during a previous video, and it is aluminum oxide,

  • which is the ingredients of sapphire.

  • But my Mohs picks and an electron microscope indicate that it is a lower grade material

  • than the actual pure sapphire that's used in Tissot's premium watches, or the full sapphire

  • display on the HTC U Ultra sapphire edition, both of which didn't scratch until a level

  • 8.

  • Apple might have extreme attention to detail, but it's my opinion that they cut some corners

  • with this sapphire stuff.

  • I did buy one of their overpriced sapphire Apple watches to test, and that should arrive

  • today sometime.

  • So make sure you're subscribed so you don't miss that durability test.

  • There is a metal ring around the camera lens, but the weird part is that the camera lens

  • sticks up even farther than the metal ring does.

  • So there's no protection for that lens.

  • And since it scratches at a level 6 instead of a level 8, it still needs that protection.

  • Now the sides of the phone are real metal, so Apple did a good job there.

  • This handles keys and coins very well.

  • But my razor blade manages to remove some color, exposing that silver 7000 series aluminum

  • underneath.

  • So it's probably best not to keep your razor and phone in the same pocket.

  • The SIM card tray and power buttons are both metal, along with the button-less and port-less

  • top of the phone.

  • The volume buttons and mute switch are also metalbonus points for that.

  • I'm still definitely a huge fan of that mute switch by the way.

  • I wish more Android phones had that feature.

  • The singular proprietary lightning port is at the bottom of the phone.

  • Still metal down here as well.

  • And still no headphone jack, but Apple has been kind enough to include a dongle in the

  • box if you don't happen to have one of your own.

  • Now I do like to roast Apple every now and then, physically and verbally, and one cool

  • thing about the IPS retina display is that after about 10 seconds in extreme heat, the

  • pixels go black and turn off.

  • But after the heat is removed and the pixels cooled down, they recover completely.

  • The phone is cool to the touch within seconds.

  • It's still important to not try this on your own phone because the flame does burn off

  • the oleophobic exterior coating on the glass.

  • I have been contacted by several angry mothers whose kids have burned phones, so please don't

  • try this at home.

  • Speaking of things to not try at home, it's time for the ultimate test of durability.

  • Nothing stresses the construction of a phone like a bend test.

  • And whether you're an Android fan or an Apple user, everyone can appreciate a well built

  • phone.

  • And this is indeed a well built phone.

  • There is zero flex to this device.

  • If you remember on my iPhone 7 bend test last year, the waterproofing adhesive was ruined

  • by the bend.

  • But this has since been corrected with the iPhone 8.

  • I'm very impressed.

  • There is no glass separation on the front or the back no matter how you bend it.

  • This phone is definitely skinny jean approved.

  • The last thing I want to point out as a bonus and thumbs up to Apple's build quality is

  • the rear glass panel.

  • It has a lip of plastic around the edge as a cushion to protect the glass during drops,

  • so the plastic helps out.

  • Smart design choice.

  • The front screen also has a plastic cushion around the glass as well.

  • Most people wouldn't notice this subtle detail, but Apple does put an extraordinary amount

  • of thought and design into their phones...well, except for the sapphire camera lens anyway.

  • Hit that subscribe button if you want to see that sapphire Apple watch tested.

  • And come hang out with me on Instagram and Twitter.

  • I think we should try and make a clear iPhone 8.

  • Thanks a ton for watching, and I'll see you around.

The iPhone 8 is here.
