Ceramic Shield 2 Is the Real Deal
Philip Michaels, writing last September for Tom’s Guide: iPhone 17 torture test videos done by JerryRigEverything indicate that Ceramic Shield 2 certainly resists scratching, with scratch testing leaving only light scratches at level 7 on the Mohs scale of hardness. Scratches typically show up on glass at levels 5 or 6 on that scale. “Ceramic Shield 2 is indeed the best we’ve ever seen,”…
Apple's Ceramic Shield 2 has proven itself to be a highly durable material, as demonstrated by recent torture test videos conducted by JerryRigEverything. The new version of Ceramic Shield effectively resists scratches, with only light marks appearing at a hardness level of 7 on the Mohs scale, compared to typical glass which shows scratches at levels 5 or 6.
The iPhone 17 Pro's display was shown to withstand rubbing from a mineral tip without sustained damage, as residue from the tip could be easily wiped away. The reporter, who avoids placing their iPhones face down to prevent scratches, has not noticed any visible scuffs on their nearly year-old device, suggesting that Ceramic Shield 2 is indeed a significant improvement over previous iterations. Apple can be commended for their continued efforts in creating top-tier scratch-resistant glass.
