From apples job creation page. I Think we can make an educated guess here
If so, then why would it not be listed on the gorilla glass page?
For the same reason Apple doesn't like to list the processor speed or ram amount. Apple is not into specs.
I think it's fascinating. If you have the iPhone 5, the white on the front vs the white on the back are two different whites. Yet white iPhone never get dirty. Even if you smeared dirt on it, it wouldn't get dirty.
I mean it's not as simple as finding out how other things are white, I mean Apple cables are quite obviously plastic. But the iPhone 5 is neither plastic nor completely glass.
So where does the white come from?

Maybe I am but at least I know how a white iPhone is white!
And way to be a hippocrate.
Well what really makes it interesting is the fact that the iPhone 5 and the iPhone 4 are two different whites. Like the iPhone 4 white is quite obviously a single layer.
Yet the iPhone 5 is appears to have a layer underneath. You can see a reflection on the earpiece.

Holy crap really? THEY USE A WHITE COATING UNDER THE GLASS INSTEAD OF BLACK! What don't you understand!?
Thats like asking how are white cars white, It's simple they paint them white instead of black.

corning make more than just gorilla glass
For the white iPhone 5, the front glass is painted underneath, whereas the rear glass is ceramic (hence white all the way through).
