Apple supplier Corning on Thursday introduced its next-generation Gorilla Glass, which it said is two times tougher than any competitive cover glass now in the market.

They used this knowledge to develop new drop-test methods that simulate real-world break events, dropping devices face-down from one meter in height, so that the glass came in direct contact with a rough surface.

Corning Gorilla Glass has outperformed competing materials, such as soda-lime glass and other strengthened glass, since it was introduced in 2007.
