5s screen ? Gorilla glass or no ?

[Intell]

If Gorilla glass was used in original iPhone through 3GS, why would Apple all of sudden advertise "aluminosilicate glass that is chemically strengthened to be 20 times stiffer and 30 times harder than plastic" starting with the iPhone 4?

Because that's what the back pane is made out of. The front touch pane is still made with Gorilla Glass (2).

Marketing, the fact that Apple stopped using "Gorilla Glass" would scare people who would not know better. It's kinda like how Apple had the "96x faster" or whatever on the iPhone 5s, no importance except marketing

Apple supposedly dropped Gorilla Glass with the iPhone 3GS and switched to a different manufacture (They might be an unnamed vendor). Lens Technology International currently produces the aluminosilicate glass for all iPhone products.

No, No, No.
No that has been disproven concretely. LTI cuts the Corning glass for Apple. Search the forums for that thread and references.

Definitely; they should run a 'respray' service in Apple. (If that would even work...)
