...actually, yeah. And the two lines just about match up with where the left and right folds sit.
It's not an incredibly big deal since I can only see them underneath an extremely bright light while the screen is off, but it did make me curious.
Got a tip for us?

Why is my Uncle featured in this article..
...... yes.... and Apple will also charge extra for this too
We rely on stuff to protect us.... and even *buy* it.... with the mind set of "Yes... now i can constantly drop my i.device"..
What ever happened to common sense now days.

Apple were the first devices to use Gorilla glass. They were responsible for discovering it could be used with consumer electronics.
Yep.. Really ? oh dear..... What you may not know though is Android phone use Gorilla Glass too.... Most smart-phones do.... How do you explain this?
No matter how strong or scratch resistant someone makes it, glass is always going to be glass. It's gonna shatter if it slams into something with a moderate amount of force.
Best anyone can do is make it so it can take just a little more punishment before it breaks on you.

I checked the comments simply to see what people had to say about the gorilla. You, sir, have made my Friday.
More scratch resistant they say? Yeah, I've heard that TONS of times. My favourite is when you hear that phrase used with DVDs and Blu-Discs.
BS.
Apple makes that same claim with EVERY product. The results? You still get scratches.
Suckers might buy the "scratch resistant" BS, and though it may be true technically, it's still not enough to stop the people "who just know (from experience) from purchasing 3rd party screen protection.
The good news is, you're a sucker only once. Or at least I was.
----------
The changes were made ages ago. Ok.. about a year ago I think.
Get over it. It gets easier if you just accept it.

This is good news if Apple starts using this in ALL of their devices. Gorilla Glass is amazing stuff!
It is called a Microsoft Surface, and not it isn't. Why are you LOLing? Have you even used one?

My comment wasn't directed at you. I was posting the comment to one of the moderators that's involved in these decisions.
Who are you?
There is only evidence to support Iphone 1 using Gorilla Glass. That's all Steve's comments indicated.
Please show me where Apple or Corning has said otherwise.
I'm sorry, wait. So Apple, who instigated the resurrection of Gorilla Glass, pioneered the use of it in mobile devices, is the reason other phones use it, and who publicly claims to get their glass from corning*is NOT using gorilla glass?
I don't think so zipzap.
Cool beans. I believe my Bravia TV has Corning glass too - though I've no idea why. Have you ever smashed a TV and not been a rock star? 'zactly.

Bluray discs are more resistant than DVDs (or at least standard DVDs, I know that Disney have scratch-resistant coatings on their DVDs). For the most part it works too, I've never seen a scratched bluray, even in second hand shops.

I call bs. The screen on the iPhone is VERY difficult to scratch. I have never used a screen protector and my iPhone 4S still doesn't have scratch on the glass, after of a year of heavy use.
Are you talking about the oleophobic coating? That is to reduce fingerprint residue.
Gorilla Glass is not a coating, it's a material.
With each iteration of 50% stronger, moving towards a glass so strong that it simply cannot break, there is a diminishing tangible result.
