Gorilla Glass 5 coming later this year



In lab tests, Corning Gorilla Glass 5 survives up to 80 percent of the time when dropped face-down from 1.6 meters onto rough surfaces, far outperforming competitive glass designs.

Gorilla Glass is used in many smartphones, including the iPhone. If it's available in necessary volumes, it's probably a good bet the next iPhone will ship with Gorilla Glass 5.
