Sonny Dickson has posted a new video clip which allegedly shows a sapphire crystal iPhone 6 front panel being bent without breaking.

The video doesn't offer any proof that the front panel is made from sapphire crystal; however, it's widely been rumored that Apple will switch to the material for its added strength.

A report from last month predicted that Apple's Mesa sapphire operations will produce enough supply to cover the iWatch, the 4.7-inch iPhone 6, and the 5.5-inch iPhone 6. Although, a conflicting report said only the 5.5-inch iPhone 6 would get sapphire crystal.

Take a look at the video and let us know what you think in the comments.

That is not unique to iPhone 6.

Every name brand tablet and phones have flexible glass like that.

Does that look like a 4.7 inch or a 5.5 inch piece?

5.5". Look at the home button and judge by how it helps distinguish the look.

Try bending the lcd that way.

So it won't crack as easily ?

Yeh but it doesn't take much strength as gorilla glass but that one isn't scratch resistant.
