Apple is singing the praises of the iPhone 12 lineup's Ceramic Shield front face, a material said to offer greater shatter and scratch resistance than glass.
Hmm . . . when Corning chemist Donald Stookey took that milky white sheet of glass that was accidentally tempered at 900 degrees C from the kiln, he dropped it and it bounced on the kiln room's floor. Years later, Corning's French labs would develop Calexium, a transparent amber version of Pyroceram. Fireplace doors have been made from clear transparent Pyroceram for years.
Ceramic Shield, meet your long lost twin born over 50 years ago.
