    Ceramic Shield

    The iPhone 12 range includes a new kind of glass: Ceramic Shield. It’s a special type of glass that’s four times tougher than the glass in the iPhone 11 handsets, and it’s both harder and more scratch-resistant too.

    Like most of the smartphone glass in the world, Ceramic Shield was developed in association with Corning of Gorilla Glass fame. What makes this glass different is that it contains tiny ceramic nano-crystals embedded in the structure. Those crystals have a more regular structure than glass does, and if you embed them in the right way they can make the glass stronger and more impact-resistant.
