Does the iPod touch 4th gen have Gorilla glass?

I currently have the iPod touch 4th gen with a screen protector on it. I would like to know if it has gorilla glass so then I know if I need to use a screen protector with it.

iPod touch 4th generation, iOS 4

No, it does not use Gorilla glass. Read about it here. FYI...I found it by typing the question in Google. You might try that in the future. User uploaded file

“It’s the screen of every touchscreen phone, like the iPhone and Android phone, plus the iPad and iPod Touch. It’s an amazing story. Corning invented this stuff in the ’60s, but didn’t know what to do with it. Then a few years ago, someone showed a piece of it to Steve Jobs. The guy dropped a piece of the glass into a bag full of keys and shook it hard; it came out without a scratch on it! Jobs immediately seized on the idea of using it for his iPhone. Today, Apple buys practically all the Gorilla Glass that Corning can make. Apple is the world’s No. 1 consumer of it.”

Actually the answer is No. iPod touch 4G doesn't have a Gorilla Glass made by Corning! Not only the iPod touch, but none of the apple products have Gorilla Glass.

But apple products do use aluminosilicate glass which are also hard and scratch proof. But they can't be called as Gorilla Glass cause Gorilla Glass is a brand name and is also better than the normal aluminosilicate glass!

So, the actual answer is no, apple products don't have Gorilla Glass installed, but the glasses used are also scratch proof, so you don't need a screen protector to protect them!
