Comments on: iPhone’s lens coating http://www.aaronlogan.com/blog/archives/2007/10/15/520/ A blog by Aaron Logan Wed, 06 Jul 2011 20:41:30 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: raj http://www.aaronlogan.com/blog/archives/2007/10/15/520/comment-page-1/#comment-3896 raj Tue, 20 May 2008 23:05:36 +0000 http://www.aaronlogan.com/blog/archives/2007/10/15/520/#comment-3896 I just want to leave a quick note here that: 1) the lens on the iPhone is, indeed, plastic, not glass. I know this for a fact. I used acetone to remove the coating and it ate into the lens. It's plastic. Definitely. 2) I found one source for a new lens (after a lot of searching and email): It just arrived today and it's an exact replacement (minus the decorate silver bezel, which you have to grab from the old lens). Just thought I'd post something to try to help out. I just want to leave a quick note here that:
