What kind of glass is used for the iPhone 6?

I want to get a case before we upgrade to the iPhone 6.  Some of the cases we are looking at (Speck Mightyshell) do not come with screen protectors.  I was wondering what kind of glass is used for the iPhone 6 and if a screen protector is even necessary?

The iPhone 6 currently uses Corning’s Gorilla Glass. There was some speculation that they would start using Sapphire glass but I guess they’re not ready yet. I have had my iPad 2 for years now and the glass is still perfectly fine. My new iPhone 6 uses a more developed version of the same glass. Will the glass break? Yes. Will the glass scratch? Yes, if you carry your phone in the same pocket as your car keys, the screen will scratch. It’s not impervious, just highly resistant.
I do have a real life controlled experiment going on in the family. My wife and one son have their iPhone 6s in a case WITH a screen protector. Myself and my other son carry our iPhone 6s around without ANY protection whatsoever, no case and no screen protector. So far they all still look perfectly fine. We’ll se how this experiment turns out.

  • What kind of glass is used for iphone 6 plus? (Accurate answer only.)

    If your not sure please don't chime in. I looked on GSMARENA and the side indicates "shatter proof" glass. If you look at the iphone 5s it lists Corning Gorilla Glass. "Shatter proof" sounds a little vague.
    Thanks!

    No one except someone inside Apple or Corning can give you a definitive answer, and since they won't respond here, you're not going to get what you're looking for.  This article is worth reading if you are willing to read between the lines, which builds a strong case of Gorilla Glass on iPhone 6:

  • What docking station do i use for the envy4-2014

    i have a envy4-2014 that i wanted to use a docking station with
    i purchased the HP2005 USB
    The attached monitor will not work.
    any idea what i need.

    Hi,
    Thank you for the information.
    Looking at the specifications for your modle, I noticed that it's USB ports are 3.0. The docking station that you got is 2.0. That alone could be what's caused the issue. On that note I've located a sales page with several listed on it, and some 3.0's are on that page. As far as my recommendation, you want one that is 3.0 compatible for your computer, beyond that as I'm not familiar with docking stations and do not handle sales you may want to call support, or the number on the websites page.

  • HT4865 Anybody know what kind of encryption is used for storage?

    The iCloud security and privacy overview says it uses encryption for storage, but doesn't mention what kind/strength. Any idea?

    Only Apple knows for certain, and they're not talking:
    Apple would not disclose to us the methods used to encrypt data on disk, and merely claimed to use industry standard practices to ensure user data is stored securely.
    from Ask Ars: how safe is my data stored in iCloud?

  • What technology that can be used for the creation of Need Definition?

    Being on SAP SRM 4.0, we currently have a requirement for creation of Need Definition( Basically a build up for the contract ). Need being collected from the Backend systems need to be validated and approved by Buyers & Lead Buyers in the SRM system.
    Technically, this task is broken down to below tasks.
    1) Creation of need definition screen - Basically a template where a need can be created with Items, Sub Items and other related information
    2) Selection Screen for Buyers and Lead Buyers - This enables the the Buyers to select the Need Definition assigned to them based on the status. 
    3) Report - List of all the Need Definition( Item and Sub Item)satisfying the selection of step 2. with the possibility to navigate to the Need Definition screen ( Step 1) upon selection.
    Now the question is,
    what technology is recommended for the above Tasks? We thought it would be BSP but do you guys have any suggestions...
    Do we have any issues in displaying the report in BSP? please let me know
    Remember we are version 4.0 of SRM.
    Thanks in Advance..
    Mohan.

  • What Kind of Plastic is Used on the GTX 970? Is it Painted Black?

    Hello, I'm going to be painting the black parts of the MSI GTX 970 GAMING 4G card I have, and so I was wondering about the cooling system they have on it. There's probably a specific name for the thing that I'm referring to, but I'm basically painting the black parts of that plastic shell around the fans and the heat sink. I won't be painting the fans themselves. So, is it just black plastic used? I don't actually know anything about painting it yet, but from what I've heard, if it is painted I'll need to remove the paint.
    Thanks!

    Hi
    I believe it's black plastic. Or at least feels like it's not painted but plain black plastic.
    Please note that if you paint it, you will void warranty. Unless you remove all paint before RMAing if you'll ever have to send it back for warranty (hopefully never).
    Duly noted, thanks for your help!

  • What kind of monitor is recommended for the new Mac Pro?

    I want ot upgrade to the new Mac Pro from an imac, but what kind of display/monitor would be recommended and how much might it cost?

    There are lots of 27"-30" monitors that would work, with the right connector adaptor.  Many sell for around a 1/3rd of an Apple display.  Personally, I like Samsung monitors, but LG makes some very nice ones, and even Dell's monitors are often quite good.  Acer has some nice large screen monitors out too, and while the name might not be commonly known to many people, they are and have been a major equipment manufacturer for decades now and their quality is usually pretty good.
    Keep an eye out for sales in the coming weeks and go look at some, preferably side by side.
    You should be able to pick up something good in the 25"-30" range for easily under $500/$600 USD (on sale, perhaps well under $300).

  • HT4718 What USB Flashdrive can I use for the Recovery System a 4G or a 8G?

    What size of drive do I need for the Recovery System? Can I use a USB flashdrive?

    If you're talking about just the Recovery HD, you only need 1GB so use a 4GB USB thumb drive and the OS X Recovery Disk Assistant to create it.
    If you're talking about the ML installer (installESD.dmg) use an 8GB USB thumb drive.

  • What kind of cable is used for apple earbuds?

    Hi
    My earbuds work fine, but the cable has been snatched. Being interested in fixin stuff i want to replace the cable for a new one.
    Looked around in DIY sites and forums, but audiophiles only seems to be interested in THICK HEAVY GAUGE cables that looks awesome. I just want my thin, white, soft old cable back.
    So would someone know which type and which AWG and insulation that apple uses for these things?

  • What kind of page to use for my website

    i want to create a website with form, polls, and user login fuctionalities.. should the page be .html. xhtml. aspx or what..

    If it's a window server, then probably aspx.  I am unfamiliar with aspx so can't really offer any more advice about it's use  :-)
    However, there are probably many more freely available open source scripts and such for use on a website, for polls, login etc., if you decide to use PHP.  I guess it all depends on the type of website you are going to create and whether you are going to create it yourself on depend on 3rd party applications to help you build the site.

  • What kind of variant is used for "DB insert data.vi"

    How can a variant from "fetch All.vi" be converted into a variant ok for "DB insert data.vi"?
    In the attached files I try to doublicate a record in a database. Does anybody know how to make it run?

    Umi,
    From the 2D array of variants you obtain from the fetch all.vi, you need to extract each value, knowing each variant datatypes and build a cluster of data or variant to use in DB insert data.See VI attached.
