iPhone 6s/+ glass

[Pez555]

one thing that isn't being talked about much is the new glass on the front of the new iPhones.

Is it just stronger to prevent cracking when dropped? Or as well as this are we going to see more scratch resistance in the new material?

Not sure, however since they didn't mention anything about the glass, perhaps it's possible that the glass is the same as the iPhone 6 or a newer version of gorilla glass.

They actually did mention the glass.

The world’s strongest smartphone glass. Now even stronger.
The new glass on iPhone 6s is made using a special dual ion‑exchange process, which makes it stronger at a molecular level and the most durable in the smartphone industry.

iPhone 6 / 6 Plus = Gorilla Glass 3
iPhone 6S / 6S Plus = Gorilla Glass 4

Comparison here.
