Ivory tusks. Those poor elephants... :(

On the bright side, there should be no doubt that Apple uses but the best quality materials.

The iPhone 4S was painted white with a special type of paint on the back of the glass.

The iPhone 5 is made of ceramic glass. (think toilet bowl)

On the back of the glass? It looks like something is behind the glass though not just painted on the back.

It is made from the souls of ancient Spartan warriors, which is in an eternal state of ambient glow. This is placed under reflective glass to give the appearance of a white iPhone. If you hold it right, you can hear a faint battle cry given by a warrior just before war.

:apple:

This is what makes bonskovsky threads great. Still laughing after that answer! :D

Gorilla glass is strong enough for gorillas and not humans. Gorillas are smarter they still live the leisurely life. They have land disputes like humans but they settle out of court with a couple of friendly fights. They never get married but stay loyal. They actually don't eat bananas in the wild. Gorillas don't wear any clothing but don't appear naked. Lucky gorillas ;gorilla glass is not stupid proof.

Seeing as the downvote button is gone. I had to make my own.

Be a good sport. When you ask a silly question, expect silly, hilarious answers.
Radiating below, has your 'serious' answer.

Actually it is your brain. Apple just prints the color on the box and that's what you believe when you look at it. All iPhones are the same color...a dark Army green and the rest is brain control. They are far advanced in their technology of suggestion. Next version will be no phone at all, just your imagination. Bye bye Sammy. They are going to make your phones appear to be road kill.

If you are so disbelieving of the correct answer, buy a white iPhone and take it apart. An expensive lesson to quell your skepticism, to be sure, but it would end this thread.

Apple is not one of the companies listed as made with Gorilla Glass.

Thank God! I thought I was losing my mind.

This thread is racist

Only if they start saying one is better than the other.

I like the white iPhone because it's not completely white it's actually two tone. Really it's great but it looks better.

And they said Apple didn't innovate. :rolleyes:

And it clearly states on that list that not all companies that use it are listed.

Keep on trolling.

Are you sure you are not trolling?

Since when does that mean that Apple is using it? You dope.

Also, who cares about gorilla glass 2 when gorilla glass 3 is already out. Gorilla glass 3 is supposed to have an antimicrobial coating.

Corning employees in Kentucky and New York who create the majority of the glass for iPhone


From apples job creation page. I Think we can make an educated guess here ;)
