Just wondering how strong the display material is? Is it the same a the iPad?
Thanks for the info. Great forum.

i've heard that it is but the screen scratches up too easy for it to be gorilla glass. almost all of my newer android phones have had that and they dont scratch period. its iffy, especially considering they dont even have apple products listed on their site as users of their glass.
I've never scratched a single iPhone screen. (every generation and never use a screen protector) Granted I probably take much more care than most but still.
From what I've seen, this phone can scratch quite easily by anything small. Some people claim it is difficult to scratch, but all of my friends who have iPhones complain that things like business cards scratch the screen easily.
I'd get a screen protector to be on the safe side, but as always,
YMMV
Business card? No offense but I find that very hard to believe. People who scratch these phones are people who are just not that careful. Plain and simple.
Not offended. Point is, Apple claims these screens are incredibly scratch resistant when in fact they are not. You need to have a screen protector or take very good care of the phones to avoid scratching. Plain and simple.
Sorry, the way I worded it was wrong, yes the glass is scratch resistant, but what I meant to say is that although Apple would like you to believe its near impossible to scratch the screen it isn't. You just need to be careful.
Sorry.
Anyone know good screen protectors which DON'T compromise the retina display?
All the ones I've tried always give the display a fuzzy look.
Does anyone find it strange that Apple likes to tout how thin their phone is and then because it is glass you pretty much have to put a huge bumper on it or just enjoy buying a second back or front when you drop it?
