What do you think of an iPhone screen made of Zirconia glass? Do you want it, and how much would you pay for it.

That’ll be the next thread.
Not sure as I know nothing about it, but I’d pay about 200 more for a screen made out of tungsten.
Sapphire is probably more tenable, seeing as companies (including Apple!) have already used it at scale.
But it’s also significantly easier to shatter than even the glass they use now, one of the main reasons they abandoned that idea around the time of the iPhone 6.
Obviously, less of a problem in tiny components, like camera lenses, home buttons, and the Apple Watch display.
But an entire 6.9 inch sheet would be extremely easy to completely destroy with one drop.
Major scratch resistance though, but if you’re asking me if I’d rather have a totally scratched up screen or a totally shattered screen… Well, I think the answer is obvious. I’ll take the one I could actually still use.
