According to the International Business Times, which does a report on companies whose stocks rose or fell with the announcement of the new iPhone 5, reported that Corning, which makes Gorilla Glass 2, supplies the iPhone 5 with Gorilla Glass 2. Previous versions of the iPhone used GG1, the 5 uses GG2. There are also tons of Apple specific blogs that will verify this if you simply google it.

Talked with an Apple rep. earlier today and he said that IPhone doesn't come with Gorilla Glass; they supposedly use a product built in house.

Apple doesn't build products in house. They design products and use other manufacturers to produce the final product. Their time is best spent designing and innovating, not coming up with manufacturing products. Whichever Apple rep told you this was wrong.

Thanks, found it:
Corning's Gorilla Glass 2 is in every iPhone 5 as well as in many other mobile products and computers because it's durable and well-designed. Apple's late Chairman, Steve Jobs, worked out the supply arrangement with the venerable glass specialist in Corning, N.Y.

unacceptable. i refuse to believe we have to wait for some pimply faced teen that lives in his parents basement to tear one down to see what we're working with

i want to see something in writing.

Sure. Then are Statisfied with the number of answers your getting?
My take on apple not mentioning gorilla glass 2 is probably because it's not even worth mentioning.
Nobody gives a damn.
The only reason oter competitors mention it. Is because they do not have any more to offer.

I care. I like knowing my iphone has been made stronger and less prone to breaking, should I drop it.

The 4S will crack like Humpty Dumpty if you drop it. Thankfully I've been lucky but its always a fear. I'm hoping with the aluminum back and possibly gorilla glass 2 on the front, that dropping the iphone 5 by accident will be less likely to damage it.

My Droid X2 has GG1 and after almost a year in my pocket and getting laid screen side down with no screen protector it looks like the day I got it. The GG screen is pretty much the only part of the DX2 that I actually like.

Assuming that the iPhone 5 does have GG2 (which the reliable sources all seem to indicate) the screen is going to be pretty much bomb-proof. Check out this video from Corning on GG2. Amazing!

I accept the fact that if I am to drop it from waist high onto concrete, the iPhone will probably sustain some sort of damage whether it's made from Gorilla Glass 2 or pure diamond.

I'm more concerned with "everyday scratch resistance": keys, coins, a pebble in my pocket with the iPhone etc . . . from what I'm reading, sounds like the GG2 display wont be scratched from those elements. This may prevent me from getting a screen protector this time around (a big step for someone like me with "iPhone OCD") :D
