iPhone 6 Rumors: Report Claims Apple Is Ready For At Least 100M Sapphire Display Units For The Upcoming iPhone

With all of the iPhone 6 rumors we have been reading about the past months, the only thing we need to know right now is its exact release date.However, it looks like the iPhone's spec rumors are still under way.

Now a new rumor suggests that Apple will place Sapphire displays on its newest iPhone.

According to 9to5mac, Apple's manufacturing partner GT Advanced has just ordered stocks for an Intego Sirius Sapphire Display Inspection Tool. This would reportedly "increase the yield of high quality sapphire material from each boule and ensure that only high quality material enters the value stream.”

If this report says something, it is that Apple will place sapphire displays on the iPhone 6. And according to 9to5mac, Apple is very capable of ordering at least 100 million of these displays for the production of the iPhone 6.

Compared to the displays we have today, Sapphire ones are reportedly stronger and much more resistant against scratches. They are also thinner which would pave the way for much slimmer phones in the future.

If Apple is in fact planning to place these sapphire displays on its next iPhone, then it would really be something to behold when it finally launches later this year.
