IPhone 6 screen Wear sapphire crystal?

Apple is known to have poured funds up to USD 578 million to GT Advanced Technologies in Arizona, since November last year raises a presumption that they will use a screen-based Safir (Sapphire) to replace the Corning Gorilla Glass. But rumors say it will not happen in the month of May as predicted by many parties.

GT Advanced Technologies itself is known as the basic component supplier companies sapphire material that is commonly used on high-end watches have durable and scratch resistant. So far, Apple has been using sapphire to cover the camera lens and sensor fingerprint iPhone 5s. Even iWatch also reportedly will also be coated with sapphire crystals, as reported by Forbes.

electronics giant Apple seems ready to bet much if they upgrade the product to cover the iPhone 6 next screen, entirely with sapphire. Costs are rolled certainly more expensive or about 3 to 4 times more expensive than Corning Gorilla Glass material worth 3 dollars.

CEO of Apple, Tim Cook speck never disclose the data to the partner suppliers, and is still a puzzle. In other words, Apple believes sapphire crystal is ready for mass production to upgrade the smartphone screen protecting cap glass components. (Hito) Source: Forbes
