Hi i nocked my i phone 5 off my coffee table from about 800mm = around 1 and half foot and the screen cracked , then i discovered that the manufacture of the glass for i phone 4 has not made screen for i phone 5 !!! i am going get to the bottom of this 😠
iPhone 5
I fell the other day while my iphone was in my pants pocket. It came out landed on the concrete (from about 4 feet) flipped and skidded. It did not break the screen nor scratch it.
Those sites that have tested the iPhone 5 for drop resistance felt that it was actually more rugged than previous models. There is no "bottom" to get to; you just had bad luck in exactly how it fell. For every model of phone, you'll find reports of people subjecting their phone to extreme situations with no damage while others have damage from a short drop like yours.
As to your claim about the glass manufacturer, Apple has not announced who made the glass nor has any glass manufacturer provided such information, so it may or may not be the same company.
Regards.

Hi , if you do some investigation i think you will find that the iphone 4 screen was manufactured by ' gorilla glass' which is a great system but apple would not agree on price to supply iphone 5 screen so apple went alone !! and in the uk their are many people complaining about ' glass ' screen issues trust me i went to the carphone warehouse and they explained they were flooded with iphone 5 's with screen cracks !!!!!! , but hay lets hold this space i will be back with plenty of info soon just doing more investigation now .

Apple worked with Corning to develop Gorilla Glass for the first iPhone but they never publicly stated anywhere that they used it in any model iDevice. It is very possible it is also used in the iPhone 5, everything you are posting is just pure speculation which isn't allowed.
Hi sorry but i think you should do your home work !!
kind regards

Sorry, but I think it's you who should do the homework. Apple has not, since the first iPhone, said what glass manufacturer they have been using. "Gorilla Glass" is a trademark for Corning's aluminosilicate glass, not a company as you stated, and there are other companies who make aluminosilicate glass as well as other types of toughened glass. Apple could be using any of them or indeed more than one, Corning among them. Again, we do not know who has made any of the glass since the first iPhone.
Your comments are pure speculation. And just FYI, given how much misinformation Carphone Warehouse gives out, I wouldn't take anything they tell you as automatically true and certainly wouldn't quote them as any sort of verification of any point you are attempting to make.
Further discussion is useless, so there is no need to post back. If you broke your iPhone, you will need to pay to replace it, regardless of your rather misinformed opinion as to the overall ruggedness.
Oh APPLE EMPLOYEES I SEE 😉 NICE .
No, he is not an Apple employee and neither am I. The only idenfied Apple employees here are the moderators.
We are just smarter than you.

Goog luck with finding that definitive and documentable information. Apple is notorious for not releasing such information. The only definitive infomation currently available is what appears in the Steve Jobs biography.
I'm not an Apple employee and never have been. And you will have no "info" that would be of any value in regards to your claim, so don't bother to post back. It's clear you will not listen to facts, or you're just a troll, so this is a complete waste of time.
iphone 5 has any one noticed the screen glass is very weak????
