I own a iPhone yet consider this report total unmitigated bullshit !
College is NOT an indicator of intelligence nor ability to survive in the real world......iPhone or android aside.
I just like the simplicity of the iPhone, Mac and iPad. Use the products daily in my heavy use of each for work, general use and entertainment . IMHO the apple variants have held up better to the abuse travel, work expose the products to than my PC / Android products.
I do wish gorilla glass was on Apple products .... But my otterbox armored up case has saved my iPhone more times than I can appreciate .
My opinion....my experience with the two different brands and types.
Stay safe !
I have used Macs since the 1980s and love them. I also have had to use PCs because that is what my work environment uses.
I have a new HP with Windows 8.1 at work which is so awkward to use it makes me crazy. It is also as slow as molasses going uphill in winter and has been in the shop or on the phone with the Geek squad numerous times.
My Mac mini on the other hand is super easy to use, fast as blazes and allows me to use multiple apps at once with no slowdown.
Apple has been using Gorilla glass and its decedents since the very first iPhone. Who told you they were not? In fact Steve Jobs was the one who suggested it to Corning.
. . . Jobs flew to Corning, New York to meet with Corning CEO Wendell Weeks and explained that he wanted the iPhone’s screen to be made of glass, but that it had to be durable and he needed enough of it within six months to be produced for all the iPhones he was planning to sell. Weeks apparently told Jobs about the development of Gorilla Glass, but said he wasn’t set up to actually mass-produce it. Jobs, in typical Jobsian fashion, apparently placed an order for a ton of Gorilla Glass anyway, repeatedly telling Weeks, “Don’t be afraid. You can do this.” Corning’s official version of the story is simply that the company “began developing a tough new cover glass for electronic devices in 2006.” The iPhone was unveiled in early January of 2007 and went on sale in late June.So that was the first version of Gorilla Glass, which was then followed up by the introduction of Gorilla Glass 2 at CES a year ago. Gorilla Glass 2 was basically Gorilla Glass, except 20% thinner than the original. With the recent introduction of Gorilla Glass 3 – which should find its way into devices later this year — Corning is using “a completely new glass composition, with durability enhancements developed at the structural level of the glass.”— Source: Techland - TIME MAGAZINE — By Doug Aamoth — Jan. 11, 2013
When the iPhone was introduced by Steve Jobs on January 9, 2007, he had a slide with Corning Gorilla Glass listed as the screen of the iPhone. Apple's agreement with Corning specified that Corning could not list Apple as one of the customers. . . and Apple had Gorilla Glass as an exclusive for the first 3 years, taking the entire output of corning.
In addition, from an article on the number of jobs created in the US from 2012, Apple lists on their website:
"Corning employees in Kentucky and New York who create the majority of the glass for iPhone"
