Imagine for one moment that the iPhone screen could be made from lab grown diamond, this would mean it would be scratch resistant to all other materials except a diamond itself. Basically unshatterable. Would you be willing to pay a extra $300.
Fair, but that also scratches and breaksI would rather apply a $15 high quality Spigan screen protector.
I have broken 1 in 2 years and it was due to a 5ft drop on a concrete carpark.Fair, but that also scratches and breaks
Their quality has gone downhill lately. I just had to return one set due to not sticking at the edges. Others have the same issue too in the reviews.I would rather apply a $15 high quality Spigan screen protector.

As someone who has tried all the top brand (e.g. Spigen, Flolab) the new Dbrand versions are actually really good.Their quality has gone downhill lately. I just had to return one set due to not sticking at the edges. Others have the same issue too in the reviews.

Scratch-resistant and unshatterable are two different things, and are two opposing goals in material science. A thin diamond sheet would shatter very easily. IPhone screens have become less scratch-resistant (softer) in recent years in order to be more shatter-resistant. Maybe that’s because larger screen sizes are inherently more shatter-prone, whereas scratch resistance is independent of screen size. So if you want both higher scratch resistance and higher shatter resistance, demand smaller screens.Imagine for one moment that the iPhone screen could be made from lab grown diamond, this would mean it would be scratch resistant to all other materials except a diamond itself. Basically unshatterable.
That’s funny, but diamonds are actually quite cheap to make nowadays. It’s natural diamonds that are artificially kept expensive for no good reason.Imagine getting your phone stolen not for its electronics but for its screen being made of diamonds 🤣
That is what I was thinking, maybe the screen could be cheap enough that it would only cost apple an extra $40 or something.That’s funny, but diamonds are actually quite cheap to make nowadays. It’s natural diamonds that are artificially kept expensive for no good reason.
I don’t think that they don’t use diamonds because of cost. They don’t use diamonds because they are unfit for the purpose, likely being quite shatter-prone at the requisite dimensions.That is what I was thinking, maybe the screen could be cheap enough that it would only cost apple an extra $40 or something.
Wait. This is not a proper understanding of diamond.Imagine for one moment that the iPhone screen could be made from lab grown diamond, this would mean it would be scratch resistant to all other materials except a diamond itself. Basically unshatterable. Would you be willing to pay a extra $300.
Wish I could say the same about my 15P. Very scratched. I wish there was a screen protector with a more soft and thick bottom side to properly seal some deeper scratches instead of leaving tiny air pockets visible at off angles.The screens on both 15PM and my 16PM are awesome!
