I would use 1 mm of Gorilla Glas 2 in the new devices so its 20% harder to break :-)
-
Can I use that glass as a condom??? Today condoms breaks easily...!
-
Will they balls use it, Apple love charging people stupid money to replace the glass so why would they want somthing not to break? love apple products but hate the way act on it.
-
Plus if they do... apple will give gorilla glass a bad name coz i guarantee the drop test's will still shatter the screen...Apple really dont care about there customers.. shame really.

No, apple's not using Corning. I have a friend that has a small company and already seen the case for iphone 5. I was hoping he would take a picture for me but he said he didn't dare to do so. Iphone 5 will be an one piece sleek case and he told me it's beautiful. The company that manufactures iphone in Taiwan has acquired this company who's producing all the cases.

sureeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee, and my dad has an iphone 6s

Apple uses king kong glass on iphone 4s. Drop it and you hear the shattered spund of king ang kong.

yall r late, i have a jailbroken iPhone 7s

Whoopie, Gorilla Glass is bullsh*t. Within a day my phone had scratches, and it shattered when I accidentally dropped my Xbox controller on it!
-
Smart, don't refine just yet. I like that idea. It's so apple.
-
Hey guys, I'm not kidding anyone on this. I live here in Taiwan and what I wrote here happened over 2 months ago.
-
It's so simple... Take better care of your devices. Lol.
-
you sound like an asshole
-
you type well with your ass.
-
ive had my 3gs for three years, and it is scratchless.

That logic may be flawed, after all what makes the gorilla glass (or any glass) break is not the pressure over it as they test it, but the brittleness of the material under a high energy impact. I suspect that a thinner glass would allow the material to bend easier thus absorbing the shock of a fall better than a thicker one.
-
The best way to test is a drop test on concrete from about 4-5 feet. All these stupid pound tests mean nothing.

I didn't expect you guys to give this type of replies. I'm being truthful on this case. My friend wouldn't lied to me because they workded very close with the company making all the iphones for apple. You do know Iphones are completely manufactured by a Taiwan company right? The CEO of the comopany that makes the iphone is the riches man in Taiwan and have been producing iphones in mainland China. So believe it or not, I'm just telling you the truth. I work here as a doctor and thought I shine some light on the upcoming iphone 5. If I get a chance to take a look at the case he told me about, I'd surely take a photo.
