Apple isn***8217;t listed, but the existence of Gorilla Glass as a consumer product came about as a result of the original iPhone, according to an interview Steve Jobs***8216; biographer Walter Isaacson had with Fortune***8216;s Adam Lashinsky in 2011.

The short version is that Jobs wanted to use glass instead of plastic for the iPhone***8217;s screen, but glass cracked too easily. Someone suggested he check with Corning, which had gained notoriety by developing a type of tough but light glass in the 1960s called Chemcor that eventually made its way into ***8220;tableware, ophthalmic products, and applications for the automotive, aviation, and pharmaceutical industries,***8221; according to the seo company.

As the story goes, Jobs flew to Corning, New York to meet with Corning CEO Wendell Weeks and explained that he wanted the iPhone***8217;s screen to be made of glass, but that it had to be durable and he needed enough of it within six months to be produced for all the iPhones he was planning to sell. Weeks apparently told Jobs about the development of Gorilla Glass, but said he wasn***8217;t set up to actually mass-produce it. Jobs, in typical Jobsian fashion, apparently placed an order for a ton of Gorilla Glass anyway, repeatedly telling Weeks, ***8220;Don***8217;t be afraid. You can do this.***8221; Corning***8217;s official version of the story is simply that the company ***8220;began developing a tough new cover glass for electronic devices in 2006.***8221; The iPhone was unveiled in early January of 2007 and went on sale in late June.

Po raz kolejny - bez przeczytania biografii wg Isaacsona nie mamy o czym rozmawiac, poniewaz braki wiedzy sa elementarne.
