Accroding to Apple new ceramic shield coating is “tougher than any smartphone glass,” and four times greater resistance to damage from drops. The main question is; what is the especially about this ceramic coating? is it so protective as it claims?

This is how Apple elaborate the “Ceramic Shield” coating technology: “Ceramic Shield front panel. During its manufacture, ceramic nanocrystals are added to the glass matrix, which is stronger than many known metals. It sounds simple, but it’s actually a very complex technology because ceramic crystals are opaque. Only by precisely choosing the type of crystal and the degree of its crystallization, we were able to develop a unique formula for the material, which has the strength of ceramics and the transparency of glass. This makes the Ceramic Shield perfect for the display – because it is much more reliable.”
