Dear all
iPhone users and GSMarena-er,
I'm from corning, the company that sell the gorilla glass for
Apple. I want to set some fact straight, so that no finger pointing in the direction it should not.
First,
Apple bought a glass from us that called gorilla glass. It's a gorilla, not king kong glass, not godzilla glass. The gorilla glass were designed with gorilla in our mind. Most of the time, gorilla only sit, and when it walk, it bend it's body so the hip is not very high. The guy from iFixYouri, drop their iphone 4 too high. It should be noted that iPhone4 is designed to be dropped from the gorilla hip when the gorilla sit down. Therefore, iFixYouri action and reaction is as expected from corning.
We notice there were some confusion among GSMarena-er about the glass. The video on how strength the glass were in iSteve presentation is the GodZilla glass. Please notice that the gozilla hip is around 20 storey high. At the time iphone 4 still in development, we were offering the GodZilla Glass to our friend in cupertino. Unfortunately, iSteve said the secret ingredient to all his product were, cheap stuff + cheap labor + apple greedy = great product. So, he refuse using GodZilla glass, as he deemed that US$50 for 2 side of the glass is too expensive. We were then offering him the king kong glass. The king kong hip is lot lower than godzilla hip. It's only around 20 meter (66 feet), but again, that US$ 10 for 2 side of the glass is too expensive for iSteve. He prefer the gorilla glass, because the gorilla glass is the cheapest of them all, thus perfecting the secret ingredient for making a perfect iphone product. Cheap device, great profit. And as iSteve said, "iphone user just like gorilla, sitting around using the iphone all day, so why using king kong glass or godzilla glass?"
We @ corning, really wish that no one blame us for the glass, as apple is the one who use our godzilla video for gorilla presentation.
