Well, that didn't take very long.
YouTuber JerryRigEverything has posted a video testing the iPhone 8's durability. Is the glass back really the strongest glass ever used in a smartphone as Apple claims? Does the iPhone 8 bend? How well does it hold up to scratches?
Grab your bucket of popcorn, and be warned: this test might make your cringe.
SEE ALSO:8 reasons why buying an iPhone 8 makes more sense than the iPhone XThe first test Jerry puts the iPhone 8 through is a scratch test. Using a set of Mohs hardness picks, he scratches the display. Turns out the screen is just as scratch-proof as the iPhone 7 and Note 8's — there's no improvements with the iPhone 8's display.
Other things we learned: Though the rear camera is covered with a sapphire glass, it's not impervious to scratches from materials that have a Mohs hardness with a level of 6, 7, or 8. Diamond has a Mohs hardness of 10, which is the highest, and most scratch-proof of all materials. (You can learn about what all the various levels of Mohs hardness levels means here.)

And, of course, this wouldn't be a JerryRigEverything video if he didn't take a lighter to the display. It might be the hardest part to watch, but better he does it to his own iPhone than yours.
The only test he didn't perform was a drop test. But it's only a matter of time before somebody does one of those and posts it to YouTube.
Ultimately, based on this test, the iPhone 8 looks pretty durable.
