Yesterday, Apple CEO Tim Cook in an interview to mark the 30th Confirmed birthday of the Macintosh that Apple with a new factory in Mesa (Arizona) deals with the development of sapphire crystal . For what purpose this happens, how far development has progressed and which device sapphire glass may be more intense is used, Cook left open. Currently Apple uses sapphire crystal to cover the camera lens as well as for the home button on the iPhone 5S.
A few days ago an Apple patent was known , which suggests that Apple sapphire glass as a glass display wish to use the iPhone. As the Taiwanese colleagues from Apple Daily ( Google translation ) reports, Apple has started test production of iPhones with displays made of sapphire crystal in cooperation with Foxconn. Initially, some 100 units are produced.
100 devices may represent at first glance, only a small number. However, it represents a significant step for Apple on the way to greater use of the material dar. It is further stated in the report that Apple's sapphire glass supplier Synopsys and Bern Optics have invested in sapphire glass cutting machines and other equipment. In addition, colleagues from being Macrumors have heard that Apple is working with the Swiss company Meyer Burger Technologies at Sapphire glass cutting machines.
The question is whether Apple is already so far to use sapphire glass on the iPhone 6.Should also display glass made of sapphire glass, Apple requires significantly larger amounts of material. There is still enough time until Apple announces the iPhone 6.
