Yes its Corning but not Gorilla Glass. It may be a lower class glass but not Gorilla for sure.

But the unemployment rate in the US is about to go below 8%, which is much better than many other places. Apple is announcing this in response to their criticism over work conditions at Foxcon.

maybe apple DID use gorilla glass in 200-6-7, the gorilla glass before might possibly be different back then and still being refined so the iPhones' screen get scratches, it would be safe to say...iPhone used chipanzee glass, an earlier version of gorilla glass. hehehehe,
seriously...they might be using an earlier version of corning.

No one from Apple confirmed it's Gorilla Glass the company uses for the iPhone.
Corning makes different types of glass for different purposes, Gorilla is only a single flyer in their rich portfolio. I don't doubt Corning makes high quality glass for iProducts, just NOT Gorilla Glass.
Apple is known for secrecy when it comes to component details but when a well known partner comes into play they need to spill the beans. At least that's what they did when they adopted Intel's processors for Mac's. I'm sure once Gorilla Glass lands on any iProduct, we'll hear about this.

I had iphone 4 and it scratched like crazy in comparison to my other phone Nokia N8, REAL GORILLA GLASS! You can't scratch that thing with knife even if you want to! COME ON, QUIT LYING!!! It has no Gorilla glas and no iphones had that. Why would they hide that info? All phones that come out with Gorilla Glass, they say that right away!

That's what the book says. There's half a chapter all about the glass.
But send an email to the CEO of Corning and see if he can confirm this as being true.
