News : Gorilla Glass 4 Launched to make phone screens tougher.

Headline : Gorilla Glass 4 Launched to make phone screens tougher. 

 

 

Excerpt from the Link "Corning Gorilla Glass is used in more than 3 billion devices to make screens tougher. Most smartphones use it. And now Corning has announced its 4th generation of Gorilla Glass.

Corning Gorilla Glass 4 is meant to be twice as good at surviving drops as other toughened glass, so it’ll survive a drop from 1 metre 80 per cent of the time."

 

 

My thoughts :

 

Hopefully the incidents of cracked / smashed mobile phone screens will decrease as manufacturers continue to improve the durability of this material.

Very true.

I was hoping for sapphire crystal on the new iPhones but the material was apparently in short supply and expensive. 😔
