For sure it is glass... Plenty of results on google will confirm...
Also, tap it with a hammer... Shatters like glass too

It won't be necessary to use a hammer, I believe you.

There is no proof that apple uses gorilla glasses in their devices. Apple is not on the list of gorilla glassīs site. I want proof, not just words! Originally Posted by j0yful

You have access on the Internet to the same evidence that everyone else has. The conclusion that most intelligent people reach after doing some research is that the glass product is the same but due to restrictions Apple does not say they use Gorilla glass. Originally Posted by iPadFever1

The iPads and iPhones both use aluminosilicate glass. Who actually manufactures it is the $64K question. But the Apple - Job Creation page say Corning makes the glass for the iPhone. Originally Posted by iPadFever1

Most teardown experts think the glass comes from the Asahi Glass Company. Originally Posted by iPadFever1
