iPhone 5 - Gorilla Glass 2 or 1?

[Hazyb71]

They made no mention and I'm trying to figure out if that means it wasn't worth noting or they ended up not making the upgrade.

Anyone know of any credible news source that can either confirm or deny whetherh the iPhone 5 has Gorilla Glass 2?

Tech crunch stated 2

I certainly hope it's 2.

The use of Gorilla Glass was never really something Apple advertised so I doubt they would upgrade with much fanfare. I would bet it has Gorilla Glass 2. Why upgrade every other component but use the last generation of Gorilla Glass?

Its just one random article but it says Gorilla Glass 2.

I'm sure they used 2 since it's thinner and they wanted to make the phone as thin as possible.

Most of the rumors that I read stated that apple had used Gorilla Glass 2 for the iPhone 5, well personally I think it is 2 since the iPhone 5 is now considered to be the thinnest smartphone.

No it's not.

Not sure I care personally. I've had every iPhone since the original but never ever managed to scratch the screen on my unprotected phone. It is pretty damn scratch proof as is.
