Ion Strengthened glass

How it is made and why it is stronger than plastic phones

According to the American Chemical Society’s video, created with help from experts at the Compound Interest blog, ion-strengthened glass is created using a potassium bath.
One method is to dip the glass into a hot bath of potassium salt, typically potassium nitrate, at around 300°C (572°F).
This causes the sodium ions in the glass to migrate, which in turn causes sodium ions in the glass surface to be replaced by potassium ions from the bath solution.
The larger potassium ions in the bath squeeze themselves into the holes created by the moving sodium.
This compresses the glass, to accommodate the larger ions, which in turn makes it stronger

That being said, My 130 Rs tempered glass from China performs better.

"We could have done a larger iPhone years ago. It’s never been about just making a larger phone. It’s been making — it’s been about making a better phone in every single way. And so we ship things when they’re ready, and we think that both the display technology here, the battery technology, but all — but everything else and the software…

And so the ingenuity here and the fact that we’ve integrated software, hardware, and services which I think only Apple can do — this phone — now is the time for it."

So in other words, when our competitors were ready with their big phones, we called them “Hummers” coz we weren’t ready yet.

They could successfully market dog poo with an Apple logo on it though. Gotta admire their ability to maintain an iFanbase.

LOL

Same goes for NFC feature too .. once apple said it is waste technology and is of no use now iShits r using it

PLUS MOREOVER

previously Apple had Bluetooth but limited only to BT headset

Now they Have NFC but limited only to APPLE pay !!!

They think whatever they feel or do is correct and rest other brand’s offerings are waste !! ..

I am waiting to see APPLE fall to DEATH or the DECLINE which can happen when brand starts to focus on build,AFter sales and overall quality improvements and performance and do a more stable initial release !!
