Yes it is gorilla glass, just modified by Apple.
Modified in what way?
I can't find anything about it being gorilla glass on the iPhone.. also all the drop tests between samsung and iPhone, the iPhone screens cracks right away while the samsung holds up.. So i'm pretty sure it's not gorilla glass, because it should be stronger when it's smaller compared to the bigger screen on the samsung..
I just removed my screen protector and sure enough the colors on the screen is much more alive and feels better to touch without it, no doubt.
I never use one. Ever.
It completely defeats the purpose & advantage of Apples Oleophobic, highly scratch resistant surface. This coating provides an amazing and accurate level of tactile feedback. It enhances ones accuracy when using the phone.
I carry mine in my pocket with no scratches at all. Even under a high intensity light I use when cleaning it, reveals a screen as perfect as day one.
Worried about scratches? Then don't leave the house, you might trip & fall. You might have an accident. You might get rained on.... Get the picture?
Ignore the OCD boys, use it & enjoy it !

Keep the protector on, my 4 got a few very small scratches and I babied it. One small drop off my son's lap and.... . Never again will I go without a screen protector, accidents happen.

LOL @ saying you clean it under high intensity light and then calling other people OCD boys.
you'll enjoy it more once there's a hair-line scratch going down the center of it also
Get the iPhone crystal set from......
Power support, pretty much the best thin film out there. You can't even tell its on the phone and it is durable. Plus the crystal clear clarity of the film allows you to take full advantage of that awesome Retina display! Link:

Apple's highly scratch resistant surface? Maybe, but it still scratches easily. I had a black iPhone 4 and i set it down on the counter where sugar or salt grains were, (just one or two), it slid slightly as I picked it up, felt the debris under the phone..... Well, it got scratched! Not a deep scratch, but a scratch none the less. So, it will scratch! Ive seen the guys at the apple store, they keep theirs in their pocket with loose change and / or keys, that screen i saw was deeply scratched. Those of you who say it will not scratch, well..... just keep telling yourself that. :^)
