Apple always introduces unique technologies for its products, and Oleophobic (ion-strengthened) tempered glass is one of those technologies.
What is Oleophobic (ion-strengthened) glass?
This is a type of glass developed by Apple in collaboration with Corning exclusively for its products.
Oleophobic is also known as Shatterproof glass.
Oleophobic is a type of 'ion-strengthened' glass, enhancing surface ions to make the glass tougher and more durable.
Advantages of Oleophobic
According to manufacturer specifications, Oleophobic can withstand forces 6-8 times more than regular glass.
Hence, the device still ensures its design and robustness in certain unavoidable drop scenarios.
Which devices are equipped with Oleophobic coating?
The first Apple device to feature this glass type was the iPhone 3GS, marking its debut in smartphones.
As of now, Oleophobic coating continues to be maintained in the design of iPhone Xs, Xs Max.
