As seen in the video below (warning Flash content), Gorilla Glass comes out on top over sapphire in a stress test: Mentioned 40 times in the report, manufactured sapphire was obviously Corning's Because it shares similar properties with naturally-occurring sapphire, it has a compressive strength of 2000 mega Pascals. This makes the material about 10 times stronger than stainless steel. Resistance to thermal shock is another advantage of sapphire glass. Sapphire has an extremely high melting point of 2030 degrees Celsius.
Having manufactured the touchscreens for every iPhone since 2007, the Gorilla Glass bosses were all but sure they were being ditched in favor of synthetic sapphire crystal, set to be supplied by
There are three types of commonly used crystals for watches: acrylic/plastic, mineral, and sapphire. Acrylic or plastic crystals are cheap and replaceable, easily scratched, but easy to buff out. Unlike other crystals, these won’t shatter on impact, making it a durable option. Mineral crystals, on the other hand, are closer to glass than plastic.

Gorilla Glass 3: This glass allowed the glass to handle even deeper scratches, 35% or prevented scratches. Gorilla Glass 4: In 2014, this class was focused on the idea of being resistant to drops, coming in about twice as strong. Gorilla Glass 5: The Class 5 is even stronger than the version before, preventing cracks to up 80% once it falls

Corning® Gorilla® Glass vs. Sapphire Glass | Durability Test | Corning. Watch our video testing the strength and durability of Gorilla Glass vs. Sapphire. Sapphire is harder to scratch and 67 percent heavier. This finding stands parallel with what I assume was the choice of Apple going with Ion-X instead of sapphire on the Apple Watch Sport model. It’s a very interesting article, I recommend reading it. Also check the video below.. Sapphire vs Gorilla Glass: YHGg.
