So Wait: Is the Glass on the 6 Special?

[MICHAELSD]

While we know it isn't sapphire, is the glass improved? I'm hearing conflicting reports, and believe people are confusing it with the Apple Watch. Fallon did a joke about the glass being tougher to crack and scratch... Is it ion-strengthened? I do believe we'll see improved drop tests regardless.

Is it ion-strengthened?

Yes.

This was said in the keynote.

Thanks. I remembered seeing that but couldn't find it on Apple's site.

Betting it will be hard to tell the difference from the 5S

It's still not that Sapphire Crystal display you may have heard about...

The bugelsleiven has been adjusted so now the titanium sprockets fit flush with the plutonium widgets.

It's straight up magic.

Indestructible.

Oh, one more thing, shhh...: IT'S THE SAME GLASS
