Interesting Apple's recent remarks on Global Warming, and sapphire requiring so much more energy to produce. More hypocracy?

It could be interesting if the ifone6 has problems with screen breakage and weight.

This may get interesting.

When selling a status symbol product like I phone, it matters not that it is better or worse, what matters is that it is perceived to be better and that by having it in your hand, you are a better person than the person who does not have it in their hand.

Iphone is the equivalent of a gucci bag or a rolex watch.

Industrially made sapphire is transparent aluminum.

-a crystalline form of aluminum oxide-

After 16 years, the electronic innards of my previous Sieko watch finally died. During that time the watch got banged around considerably with lots of scratches on the case, but there wasn’t a single scratch on the sapphire crystal

Sapphire is used in grocery store scanners, you can drag stuff over it all year without scratches.

Thankyou for posting this. Who says you don’t get good stock advice here on FR. I am just back after reading this and then selling my GT Advanced stock. I’ve made good money on it but this annoucement is sending the stock down.
