Apple has announced an additional $45 million investment into Corning Incorporated, the supplier best known for its Gorilla Glass line of strengthened glass for mobile devices.
Recap: Corning is a longtime partner of Apple’s. As the story goes, Corning developed a formula for hardened glass way back in the 60s but never found a market for it. In the mid-2000s, Apple CEO Steve Jobs got in contact with the company with regards to producing cover glass for the iPhone. It was a hit, and the two have been working together on the iPhone, Apple Watch and iPad ever since.
