Canadian YouTube channel Unbox Therapy has performed its own iPhone 6 sapphire glass torture test, featuring celebrity Joe Rogan, who pulls out a high powered compound bow to see what will happen. One of those iPhone 6 dummy units also gets tortured by an arrow as well—check it out below:
Earlier this month YouTuber Marques Brownlee shared a video of the alleged iPhone 6 sapphire display holding up well against various scratch and bend tests. He has posted another video explaining more about the sapphire glass being scratched by sandpaper, which also concludes with a scene leading into the video you watched above (these popular tech YouTubers did a collaboration):
The test shows the new sapphire screen does hold up much better than Gorilla Glass on the iPhone 5s and probably will not require a screen protector as your keys won’t do much damage to the glass.
Another video is also coming from Jonathan Morrison (@tldtoday) and Austin Evans (they had to re-upload their vids):

Yesterday, local media in Taiwan reported Foxconn would begin production of the 4.7-inch iPhone 6 this month, while the larger 5.5-inch model would start in August, with the new models expected to debut sometime this fall.

Compound Bow, not Cross Bow
Thanks. I don’t know my bows like I should like Mr Rogan
Did anyone expect the screen to survive? They could have used the screen to conduct real word torture tests rather than making a captain obvious video featuring some douchebag firing a compound bow.
What material that thin on earth could survive such an impact? Would of been better if he hit it on a 45 degree angle to see if it would have deflected the arrow. Take it easy on recreational drugs, Rogan.
Haha
What I want to know is if there is a supposed supply shortage of these things then why does everyone seem to have one?
most of the rumors of shortages are with the supposed 5.5″ screen, not the 4.7″ screen.
Yeah like we will take an arrow and do it to our phones
