Have you seen the reports of the rear glass cracking when going from different evnvironments with different temperatures. One guy had been outside in the cold, came in and put his phone down in a warm house and it cracked !!
Apparently.

Glass shouldn't do that anyway that would be like the windows on a house not withstanding weather temperatures. Crazy

But it does with sudden changes in temperature. Ive had pint glasses do it on me when we've had a beer outside in the past, glasses cracking when washing them in hot water - its a natural aspect of glass.

Yeah guess it is. But isn't it on phones supposed to be toughened glass?? Is the back not Gorilla glass??

Yeah but its still glass. Its just how glass reacts. You can toughen it all you want through various methods but its still glass. The only way would be to find a way to change how the physics of glass work.

Well I know Gorilla glass is not completely shatter proof. But I've never heard of a phones glass breaking in temperatures. Maybe in Antarctic

I must admit its a little hard to believe from a phone point of view, especially with so many glass iPhones out there from 2010 onwards.
Anyway time will tell and we'll see what happens when people actually get their hands on the phone since its been sold out for so long now.

Let's first appreciate what glass is ... a liquid in suspension form. Now let's appreciate there are many types of glass for various use cases. Old buildings with what looks like a "sheet" glass for windows cracks very easily with sudden winter to thaw temperature changes. Condo's in downtown Toronto are being refitted with new glass (for new buildings finished in 1yr or less) because glass windows (some 7-14feet high) are breaking at random and falling down to side walks: luckily NOBODY has been hurt thus far.
Remember this is CORNING glass being used. Originally designed by an engineer for ballistic missiles and then used in CorningWare Inc (a subsidiary recently sold off some 14yrs ago) in cookware. I have just bought two pots and a skillet by CorningWare and I can assure you extreme care must be considered when using these Glass cookware: never place hot pot onto cool surfaces right from the fire that disperse heat unevenly (ceramic does a good job), or place in cold water - cracks breaks will occur and very few cases of shattering occurs.
I see NO difference in Gorilla Glass I/II.

I'll be able to tell you guys all about it as I've finally been able to order!
16GB version, shipping expected in 1-2 weeks!
But no bumper as they are completely out of stock now (even though they were in stock throughout the time the phone wasn't!)
