The display of the soon to be released iPhone 6 is apparently immune from different forms of destruction.
Marques Brownlee, popular YouTube host once dubbed the best technology reviewer by Google, said he had the chance to test the display panel of Apple's much-anticipated iPhone 6.
For years, Apple has been using Gorilla Glass on its iPhones. It also uses sapphire cyrstal on the iPhone 5s' camera lens and Home button.

Apple is now ready to give up Gorilla Glass and start using sapphire crystal on the iPhone 6's entire display panel.
Brownlee said the display of the iPhone 6 is paper thin but is more flexible and durable as compared to displays on previous iPhone versions. He put the sapphire crystal screen display to the test by trying to scratch the paper-thin glass with a set of keys and by bending the screen 90 degrees. He also stabbed the display with a knife.
Brownlee said he didn't have enough muscle power to destroy the display.
"The worst blemish on the surface was actually my fingerprint marks and the dust from handling it so much," he said.
Another notable feature of the iPhone 6 is the absence of color shifting that occurs when one looks through the sapphire glass.
Brownlee's tested an iPhone 6 screen measuring 4.7 inches.
Apple fans can expect the release of the iPhone 6 this fall, probably in November.
