Corning Inc., which makes the glass used in Apple Inc.'s iPhones and smartphones from Samsung Electronics Co., rolled out new technology it says is less likely to break when a device is dropped.
Historically, glass has been one of the most fragile components in smartphones and manufacturers have sought to improve durability. Corning said Wednesday that its new screen technology, called Gorilla Glass 6, can survive as many as 15 drops on average without damage compared with 11 for its previous product.
