Apple 'Sapphire' iPhone Lens - Whats it made of?

- What is the Apple iPhone camera lens actually made of? Check out this incredibly in depth look into what elements make up the Apple iPhone camera lens. Why does the iPhone lens scratch at a level 6 on Mohs Scale of Hardness? Ill be using the Diamond selector tool, an XRF machine AND an electron microscope.
Apple has been telling us that their camera lens is made from sapphire ever since the iPhone 5s. That is 5 different phones now that have this lens. (5s, SE, 6, 6s, and 7)
Finding the elemental analysis of the iPhone camera lens was quite the adventure. A little outside of the normal repair and durability testing that we do here on this channel. But still a fun project.

I almost cried when you started scratching that Tissot. You monster!
I know :-( I am terrible. Thats why Santa wont bring me a Electron Microscope for Christmas.
Don't worry, I'm sure Santa understands that the ends of science can justify the means of destruction!
you will be your own santa very soon your videos are great and informative and this channel is going to be HUGE *trump accent*
good excuse to upgrade it to a double domed aftermarket sapphire
Nope.
Can i hire you to read me a bedtime story? Your voice is so smooth.
+Ce Ce Pitchford it'll cost you one Electron Microscope...
I read that dramatically and pictured you with a pinky in your mouth.
i couldn't agree more.. his voice amazing!
The Tissot being scratched is 100x more painful than the iPhone camera.
Yes because iPhones are worthless
Asbani I mean, here me out. No one fucking cares. I use iPhone for the reason I got used to it and the iOS software is more comfortable to me.

thats because its an iphone
I absolutely LOVE how far you go and how detailed you work. Thanx dude! I was wandering about this for a long time!
You must be pretty tired after wandering for such a long time, hope you had an energy drink.

Great video and thanks for the great length you went to.
+zollotech Thank you! I'm glad you enjoyed it!
Jerry, as even Samsung has noticed, you are not measuring hardness of materials. In a measurement process you do not just hold an instrument in hand and apply random force to it; you should strictly apply only 1 kg force, and the material has to be supported. So what you did doing through this and previous videos is crushing through the thin unsupported lens cover, instead of scratching it. Hence the cracks of the lens, not scratches. In real life scenarios, for example, you put your smartphone on a table or in a pocket and some sand speckle happened to be there against camera's lens, Apple's sapphire layer should work as intended.
Watch the entire video
That isnt how you measure mohs hardness scale, so he would be lying
zollotech he can sue Apple right?
Dammit Santa! Just give Zack his toys!
Your avatar adds perfectly to your comment xD
lmao
Amazing video. So much dedication and a few funny jokes especially the sants one lmao
Or he will scratch-burn-bend test Santa? =D
looks like santa gave Jerry toys to bend!
This guy could just scratch test and finish the video, but he did all this research, great video !
*Apple just announced their titanium card.*
...So pretty much plastic with 1% titanium
Guess you were wrong.
@@lucascb8446 it cost $999
More like 0.1%
@@TheRealUSArmy Its free, with a 1% cashback with any purchases made with the card
Did you not watch the video? Both scans showed it was *over 90% sapphire!* Now obviously this was a joke, but it kinda just goes to show the vastness of the ignorance of people who shit on Apple. I, however, can shit on Samsung, for example, using facts - for example, the asymmetry of their newest phones and screen burn have driven me away, leading me to switch from a galaxy s8 to an iPhone 11 Pro.
if you scratch your signature into the glass, I bet you could sell this as a JRE autographed device for a premium over retail!
+Louis Rossmann lol. This phone is incredibly demolished. I'll be lucky if it turns on when I put it back together.
sell the watch instead lol
Perhaps his signature could be the fact that he demolished it.
iPhone with no camera? That's some true innovation right there 👏🏽 with some courage on the side! 😂
Lost Guardian iSheeps would buy an Apple iPhone without a camera, with no second thoughts 😂
Santa won't give you the million Dollar microscope because he knows that you'll waste it in a flame test
Oh no... Kill us, But not with jokes...
Electron microscope drop test?
R3lay You never know
Or worse...slowly dissect it to what makes it tick
nice 😁😁
While Santa fails to bring you an electron microscope, you can pick up a used one from a University or defunct corporation, there are companies that specialize in selling used scientific equipment!
I think you can pick up a used STEM for about $130K in good working order FYI
Oh bargain
The people replying must not be familiar with lab equipment.
I wonder if he ever saw this? Many music teachers start their studios this way. My first grand piano didn't come from a school, but those were definitely some of the first places I went after Steinway. I even visit my old teachers and ask if they have any resources that I could use and they often give it away or sell the equipment and books for a fraction of the price.
@@BettyAlexandriaPride I mean on the german ebay there is apparently an old SEM for just 25k €. Absolute steal I guess.
You solved it, Now Solve How I can have 130K Fuckin Dollars!
Who else felt terrible seeing that watch get scratched?
I felt goood!
I mean, I don't like Tissot, but that really wasn't necessary.
He did it for Science! so it’s ok
I like to imagine he just goes around with all of his stuff all scratched up XD
We know he uses scratched up phones, so a scratched up watch isn't a big leap.
Scratched up sunglasses. Scratched up car. Scratched up shoes.
Pristine scalp, though.
Colonel RPG scratched shoes? And hahahaha pristine head
Thumbs up for Tissot.
And then it got killed.
D*cks out for Tissot xD
shit watches
Lol, this is so pathetic. They are selling this shit for $700 and they couldn't afford the extra 3 cents for a real Sapphire camera lens?
It is real sapphire, just impure. Learn to listen properly.
Georgi Ivanov look at how many phones they sell, and add that up, makes a big difference over time
It is not "real sapphire, just impure". It is a normal glass with a super-thin impure Sapphire screen protector on it. That watch was real Sapphire glass with no excuses. Learn to listen properly.
Georgi Ivanov Did you even watch the video? 90% of the lens was sapphire. If it was "just a coating" it would be like putting a 5mm thick screen protector on a 0.3mm glass.
Georgi Ivanov If you would know where you are talking about you would understand that sapphire is very brittle, which increases the chance of breaking the lens when the phone is dropped (which doesn't happen with a Watch, and which is the reason that the Apple Watch is made from pure sapphire). To make a lens scratch resistant only a thin layer of sapphire would be needed to get a balance between breaking and scratching. This will hold up perfectly under normal conditions, where glass would have more problems. The reason that the layer comes of here is because more pressure is used than in a typical situation. The impurities in the sapphire are to make it more flexible and less brittle.
Brilliant! Need you testing sooo many more things for us. Where do we make requests?
+Brian Blackie right here in the comments.
Brian Blackie oooof
Great video! Must've taken hours to put together
I think days
Azka zaki Ramadhan Maybe years
probably generations
You mean days
Nah, he means universe live lengths, minimum 50.
this guy is single handedly showing apples true colors. first the head phone jack now the saphire crystal. hats off to you man. keep up the good work
Scratching an 800$ watch, only this channel can do that
Cristi It breaks my heart...
Cristi obviously you havent heard of TechRax.... he destroyed a 15000 dollar apple watch for example.
buying a 1000$ hdmi cable that isn't any better than a 5$ hdmi cable is also a waste, ads usually make back the money the creator spent on the video :)
using "big toys" would have cost him a lot aswell
His research teaches me whatever u do give your 200%
This is the best review Ive seen in years. Thank you!
good job man! I like how u did all the tests before telling us your opinion! Thanks for good information provided in all of your videos! You really create some quality content
your voice can replace Jony ive's voice in apple's videos
Lol for real Johny Ive is the morgan freeman of tech for Apple
but he would tell the truth. Jony Ive doesn't.
Fizzlecube True, Jony Ive just overdoes it with "phenomenal" expressions. It's a fuckin slab with glass on it. Not an angel coming from the sky
Firas Bajjar I love you
Apple should let TISSOT make the lenses for iPhone 8 cameras
+Mohamed Fadel Abadila bingo!
apple wouldn't, it reduces profile
Even if Apple would, the price would be insanely expensive then
profits*
it is already! lol
Omg, I'm just half way down the video and I must stop and say
Well done on this video! You went all out for this one and I really love it.
Subscribed for life!
now that's a lot more in-depth than I had ever expected. Great job on this video!
Thumbs up for the insane effort put into this video.
the WHOLE ENTIRE IPHONE should be in full 100% sapphire glass give with what they are charging for the sale price of an iphone
Reducing cost + knowing it will sell out and people still buying it = $$$$$$$$$
Idris it's too brittle
sapphire is hard to scratch but will crack easily
Unless it has tough, raised bezels, like the Kyocera Brigadier.
You do realize a 32gb iPhone 7 is actually cheaper than a 32gb Samsung S7 right?
Nice and informative video Jerry! You went all out on this! Beautiful 😻
Holy cow, Jerry. This just may be your best video yet! Halfway through it I thought you should do an analysis on the Tissot watch too, as I got curious... only to watch you do just that. Very thorough. Ridiculously informative. Two thumbs up. This video is an absolute must-see. Thank you for this!
#JRE Dude shit went to another level
fr this guy is coo asf
I wanna like both yall comments but ill leave it ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

Honestly, video like this is not something I'm used to on TH-cam. Dedication and exploring so many things for a single video is very refreshing. Giant thumbs up Zack!
I think your channel is great. Thanks for all your work. This video was awesome and informative.
Wow, jerry, you really outdid yourself here. So much effort into this video. Great stuff man!! We appreciate it.
You earnt yourself a subscriber. The pure amount of effort put into this video is amazing.
Same here...
Patrick Hassan earnt?
Timothy Miller it is synonymous with earned. It is the past tense version of the verb to earn. What I'm saying is he deserves every subscriber he has based on the effort he puts into his videos.
Each day it passes there are tons of new videos on the Internet, and I (and I also presume as many others) wish that they were just as qualifying as your's! I bet that all the engineers and lovers of science expired an satisfying smile upon their faces as you went deep into an such complex analysis with a so correct and well explained conclusion. I thank you for the good quality material that you provide and also congratulate you for the amazing job you've done in this video and in many others.
While I say goodbye I can only wish you keep up the good work, best regards my friend!
Now that's called a researched video. Keep it up dude, very well done
Apple sheep's were y'all at?
They aren't here, do you really expect them to stay in a video that may possible talk negatively about their overlords for more than one second?
Typical Android users, heh.
Watplr Wraith you are so stupid its insane
Watplr Wraith lmao You can't jailbreak a shit android. that is the only reason why iphones are better
Have you ever heard of rooting you ignorant fucking pleb?
wow jerry, you put so much effort in these videos, don't get this anywhere else, keep the great videos up.
The detail you go into is incredible! Thumbs up, man!
this is the reason I followed Erica the tech nerd.. and you're giving me more of that.. I loved the informative video you just gave us.. I need need need more of these.. epic work keep it up
You are the best Smartphone analyst I've ever seen, thank you for these videos, you're the man.
I love your analysis ! Great work !
You are one of the few people who intellectually explain and test products. Good to have guys like you around.
What an amazing break down man! This is why I love your videos and trust your advice. Thanks a million. I don't comment enough but I like every video. Keep em comin please.
Man, the length you've gone to find out what's going on! Great job!
Most reviews just follow the trend. If a product is advertised to be something and the public perception is in agreement with the hype over that product, then almost all reviewers just repeat each other to conform to that belief that could be false. But that's what they think they should do to be popular and generate revenue.
Great job +JerryRigEverything for going all the way.
I LOVE this channel. Zack you're absolutely awesome. This is how facts are shown, instead of armchair opinions!! I wish I could give more than a thumbs up.
great explanation and detail zac
That was a very interresting video :) Thumbs up for all the efforts you made to gather precise info and do it :)
man u have gone through a lot of trouble even for this small lens. we appreciate your work. and thank you for sharing this knowledge. ✌️
This is a really thorough investigation about something minor, something I have come to love on the channel!
Great work! I happened about you channel and now I recommended it to everyone.
No other TH-camr goes into this much detail. Incredible!
Nice homework!
Fantastic video. Love this sort of detail... great job. So interesting.
Oh your voice is so clear and the pursue of the science is inspiring, thank you for sharing!
now who the F#@k disliked the video??
Some sheep who can't face the truth.
+Akumetsubg, lol, that's what fandroids want to think. There are dislikes on all videos; some people just want to watch the world burn.

Your content is so entertaining, informative, and addicting!
Well, after seeing your videos for an hour.... I have become a great fan of you especially the way you put across your thoughts. Meantime, thank you for great research.
This video escalated from simple scratches to an ELECTRON MICROSCOPE very quickly. I love it.
this is wt utube should be about
Wow the amount information one can get on TH-cam for free is tremendous . Hats off to creators like you . You go the extra mile .
Love the effort you put in your videos bro,really good quality keep up the great work
This video is brilliant, my love for watches and my hate for Apple coming together. 10/10 👑👍⌚
A quick laminate test: slowly heat the lens up to about 500 F.
Any adhesive material that is carbon based is going to fail.
Bubbling, loss of adhesion, burning of adhesive, funny smells are all signs of laminates failing.
Glass and sapphire have very different coefficient of expansion, so it is possible the thin sapphire coating would fracture badly as well.
+Greg Gallacci I did start it on fire at the end...
Wow thats what I call a great video with a lot of information. Keep it up!
Wow, very impressive and in-depth video! Great job!
I've been watching a few of your breakdown videos, but this my friend made me hit that "Red button" :)
Yeah Science. They are never lies.
This marketing cannot be reliable to us!
It's still sapphire
Just like piss is still water. I still wouldn't drink it though.
***** piss is not water.....
SirFilip I it actually is . The same way Apple's crystal is the real thing. Urine only has 5% impurities. More info here: chemistry.about.com/od/biochemistry/f/What-Is-The-Chemical-Composition-Of-Urine.htm
What an in depth video, I like the huge amount of evidence and analysis gone into
this investigation. Great video!

Mate, your videos are getting better by the day.
I really like the idea of digging in so deep to prove that Apple's so called Sapphire is indeed adulterated as you had indicated by your moh tests earlier, very good work!
I mean using a million dollar electron microscope to do quantitative and composition analysis is too much to ask for from a reviewer, hope other reviewers take a cue from you on this and tell us something apart from what not's already written on the box.
Honestly you are the best when it comes to testing durability of these products, please keep these videos coming :)

By far one of the most thorough and best put together video tests I have seen on TH-cam. I just wanted to see if the lens on iPhone 7 was inferior to that of the 6/6S, but I got way more than I bargained for. Thanks for all the info, mate.
Wow, this, is what I like & agree to call a "in depth analysis" not like superficial reviews we're almost used to on the Internet.
Many thx for that
This is how a real tech review should be, all other tech youtubers sould learn something from this.
bruh it costs $200 to make a iphone i think they can spend a few extra cents 😂😂😂
It looks like a $200.00 dollar phone that they sell to idiots for $900.00 with out dated tech.
How is it outdated?
specs over os
Ye because employees don't need to be paid salary, advertising is free, oh yes don't forget that electricity bills and stuff at the factories are completely free too. Apple is totally earning that much per phone
+Bod
UMMMMMMMMMMMMM...........Apple does not manufacture their own phones, and they do not own a factory. Third party companies in China do. The phone even says "Made in China."
Agreed they also pay for Marketing. However they piggy back marketing. Meaning they market multiple products at a time. This means the cost marketing the products is shared by all the new products they are marketing.
Seriously, your dumb.
talk about dedication... man you went all thru that stuff just to give us this awesome content....beautiful job man... im glad i sub to your channel :D

Why don't you take the Apple Watch for the testing?
Because thankfully nobody buys them
