The issue is not whether it's GG or some other high strength Corning product. Even with GG, the iconic design exposes the edges of the glass panel. This is THE weakness that brings even GG to its knees.

The iPhone 5 edges are not exposed. Hence the reason it does so well in drop tests. Btw, the video is not real, its a prank.

thumbs down because they make GG

50. jan25 posted on 26 Sep 2012, 17:59 0

it's not necessarily gorilla glass, they only mentioned it's made by Corning. that's how i understood it.

11. Aeires (unregistered) posted on 26 Sep 2012, 09:54 22

Average person standing in line probably has no clue what type of glass it has, nor cares.

31. tedkord posted on 26 Sep 2012, 11:46 5

Of course not, so long as the Apple logo is on it, or could be a slab of rock for all they care.

36. 305Bucko posted on 26 Sep 2012, 12:30 0

Not really,,, now if it was iSlab0rock then fr sure =D

to be honest the glass is at the bottom of my list when i get a phone

37. NexusKoolaid posted on 26 Sep 2012, 12:44 3

You're over thinking it my friend. Just watch it and enjoy the lolz.

She/he mentioned in a previous post that he/she has a new iPhone when relatives give her/him, she/he can't afford an iPhone.

32. tedkord posted on 26 Sep 2012, 11:47 4

It's not politically correct to make fun of the mentally handicapped. And anyone who queues up for days for a device that they can have shipped to their door...

39. Droid_X_Doug posted on 26 Sep 2012, 12:53 0

But to get the iToy shipped to your front door, you have to wait up until midnight Pacific time on the appointed day and struggle with overloaded order placement servers. It would seem to be much more convenient to wait in line on opening day.

Nah its not just you :)

18. sinple posted on 26 Sep 2012, 10:30 2

I wish that it really happened too. Imagine how ppl feel how the stock finally came and opps, please wait again

25. No_Nonsense posted on 26 Sep 2012, 11:00 4

I thought it was already half-broken when delivered. Read: Poor maps, letter-boxing, light leakage, scratches and who knows what else?

56. HäckeMáte posted on 26 Sep 2012, 23:51 0

Just like the GS3 is prone to cracking at the bezel and has received 3 updates so far (the third to prevent unintentional remote wiping)

58. No_Nonsense posted on 27 Sep 2012, 00:59 0

Not a fan of Samsung, so your post is pointless. On a side note, the security blunder was massive.

Why the f@#$ would you wait in line for a freaking phone???!!!! Your life doesn't depend on it!!! Only losers spend (precious) time waiting on a freaking line for a freaking rectangular calculator!!!

P.S. Excuse my tone, but fanboyism (from all sides) has finally gotten to my nerves! The video was awesome, by the way, and examplery of the idiocy in some sheep-people!

44. tedkord posted on 26 Sep 2012, 13:45 2

I wouldn't, mainly because I wouldn't wait in line like that for any phone, least of all one I could get delivered to my front door.

51. jroc74 posted on 26 Sep 2012, 21:27 0

I agree with this.. I also agree with those that say I wouldnt be waiting in line for a phone.

I dont for it for video games, CD's, etc I might do it for concert tickets.

Why do you people assume someone is racist over some comment online, without even knowing them? As if you knew me your entire life so you're judging me?

Get outta here you clowns. Yes I am racist against clowns.

'Cause those breaking iPhones could have been theirs.... Can you imagine the thought that was going through their minds - 'OH F*CK ME! Please tell me that isn't the stores entire allocation of phones for today?!'

"Oh no! I might not get my new iPhone on opening day! That's when they give away the best ones!"
