Corning could have been bought for $15 billion in January of 2013.
Think that would have given Apple more than Beats?

Glass vs Sapphire
There was report not long ago about how it was now possible to create sapphire that would allow a lot more light through an not require a bright backlight and thereby reducing battery consumption and increasing battery life.
You raise a valid point. I question the ferocity of the gorillas with which Corning test their Gorilla Glass.
And what does Gorilla Glass 4 even mean ? Does that mean the glass is resistant to 4 meek gorillas ??!?!?!? What the hell is that in the real world ??![]()
Corning's existing Gorilla Glass product is used in a range of smartphone and tablet displays, from Samsung's Galaxy line to Apple's own iOS lineup.
isn't the point of sapphire not only for durability, but for the improved viewing experience too?
Phil Schiller called it "ion-strengthened glass". The only company currently producing such a product is Corning.
Corning was probably going to lose Apple as a buyer if Apple had been able to produce sapphire. So that probably forced Corning's hand to make something similar and at a better price point. If Apple does go with them for the next iPhone, everybody wins.
That cute and cuddly gorilla would rip off your legs and legs if it wanted too.That's a cute picture of the simian, but wouldn't you want a gigantic, tough Silverback 800lb gorilla for your picture of Gorilla Glass toughest baddest smartphone glass? Instead of cute / cuddly?
iOS uses Gorilla Glass?![]()

Umm. What does iPhone 4 mean? It takes 4 people to assemble it? What about the 5S? It takes 5Stupid people to assemble it? See where I'm going. Gorilla Glass 4 is simply the 4th "generation" on Gorilla Glass.. much like iPhone.
Wow... just........ wow.
