    Hello Mac friends, I figured while waiting for my 360/full protection case which says has Gorilla Glass (or maybe just tempered glass) I figure I must have a strong screen protector without spending US$60 to 70 for a sapphire screen protector.

    sapphire

    New here (first post). I just upgradded to the series 7 ss silver. A large part of this was for the sapphire face as my previous apple watch got scuffed pretty badly. Had it for a week so far and it seems much more scratch resistant. It even has a different finger feel to me at least. However...

    Why we don't need boot screens

    Hi all, the title is voluntarily provocative :) I invested quite a long time and money to get my graphics cards to show up the little apple logo at startup. I found this imperative if I wanted to install mac os from scratch... Then I started using my brain "in another way". Maybe you all know...

    I'm trying to decide between Stainless Steel or Aluminum for my Apple Watch Series 4 order. For me, it boils down the the sapphire screen that's on the stainless steel models.

    Downsized 42mm to 38mm and loving it but....

    I just traded my SS S0 42mm, nike band and some headphones for a Sports S3 LTE 38mm (which cost me just £20 + my traded watch, so I got a bargain). I am loving it.

    Steel/Saphire screen - just noticed something

    Point a light at it and look closely. You can see a very thin line which goes all around the display (a few mm outside the actual display). I tried to take a photo but it's hard to see. It's either the area the coating is covering or a piece of sapphire is fused to the glass. I remember seeing a...
