As per a new leak concerning the upcoming iPhone 6, Apple may not have enough stocks of the sapphire glass display to stamp it on every iPhone 6 that comes out of its gates this fall.
Or another option for Apple will be to keep the sapphire glass panel exclusive to a particular iPhone 6 version instead of making it standard fitment across all its models. Towards that, it's the top of the line 5.5 inch 128 GB iPhone 6 version that is considered to be the front runner for being the sole recipient of sapphire glass panels.
The revelation comes from a new note from JP Morgan to investors, a copy of which is also with the Taipei Times.
"Due to various challenges related to the new cover material, we believe the production output for sapphire covers will be low," said JPMorgan analysts. "Sapphire ingot yield rates could be as low as below 50 percent for this size, and finished sapphire smartphone covers may cost as much as US$40 to US$45 versus below US$10 for finished Gorilla glass."
