It’s been rumored to be used by Apple Inc, but neither company has confirmed the much-discussed mystery. Corning says not all customers want to be identified.

So how does Dragontrail stack up against the Gorilla? Asahi Glass executives weren’t saying, declining to make any direct comparisons with competitors.

Why is everything so secret?? They've patented it so anyone can see what it's made of and how it's made. And why don't customers want to be identified?

@MrDog Customers don't want to be identified because it could create buying competition and/or shortage of supply.

Comparisons are not necessary to the public, as the customers are corporate buyers.
