Unbreakable: Exploring the iPhone's Durability

Apple has always put a strong emphasis on the build quality of its iPhones. In recent years, they have made significant strides in durability, focusing on the materials that protect your device from everyday wear and tear. Here’s a look at the key technologies that make the latest iPhones tougher than ever.
The Front: Ceramic Shield 2
A major breakthrough in iPhone durability is the Ceramic Shield 2 front. This material is not just ordinary glass; it’s a glass-ceramic hybrid made by introducing nano-ceramic crystals into the glass matrix.
3x Better Scratch Resistance: The most notable benefit of Ceramic Shield 2 is its incredible scratch resistance. Apple claims it's 3 times better than the previous generation, making the front of your iPhone far more resilient against keys, coins, and other abrasive materials.
Tougher Than Glass: On a molecular level, the ceramic crystals are harder than most metals. This makes the screen exceptionally tough and less likely to crack when dropped.
The Back: Ceramic Shield Back
On the back of the Pro models, Apple has also incorporated a Ceramic Shield back. While the front gets the more advanced "2" version for added protection, the back is still incredibly durable. It offers a similar scratch and drop resistance to the front glass on previous models.
Water Resistance: Designed for Life
The latest iPhones are built to handle splashes, spills, and even full submersion.
IP68 Rating: These phones have an IP68 rating under IEC standard 60529. This means they are water resistant to a depth of 6 meters for up to 30 minutes.
Real-World Protection: This feature provides peace of mind for everyday accidents, whether you're caught in the rain, drop your phone in a puddle, or accidentally spill a drink on it.
This combination of an ultra-tough front, a durable back, and a high level of water resistance means your iPhone is better prepared than ever to handle the rigors of daily life.
