On June 16, a technology blog website reported that analyst Matt? After investigating the supply chain of sapphire glass manufacturer GT Advanced, Matt Margolis said that Apple will get enough sapphire glass to produce iPhone 6 and iWatch this year.
Margolis said in the report that through a recent inspection of the supply chain, I think GT Advanced will be able to produce enough sapphire glass for iWatch, 4.7, and 5.5-inch iPhones. In addition, the annual output of GT Advanced sapphire glass will exceed 200 million pieces.
Margolis pointed out that GT Advanced has installed more than 2,500 furnaces and is waiting for Apple to pay the final prepayment. Apple is expected to pay GT Advanced the last prepayment at the end of this month.
Margolis estimated in February that Apple will accelerate the mass production of products equipped with sapphire displays. The capacity of GT Advanced plant equipment is 1-2 billion pieces of 5-inch sapphire glass per year. Margolis said in the latest report that the output of sapphire glass will exceed 200 million pieces, which means that Apple will be able to obtain enough sapphire glass for 4.7, 5.5-inch iPhone, and iWatch.
Earlier media reports said that the production limit of sapphire glass may force Apple to use this material only in large-sized iPhones. Sapphire glass will drive the retail price of iPhones up. In addition, there are media reports that the initial sapphire glass will be used for iWatch instead of iPhone 6, but the media reports on the purchase of GT Advanced equipment and the number of raw materials show that Apple has a greater plan for the use of sapphire glass.
It is expected that the 4.7-inch iPhone 6 will be released later this year, and the 5.5-inch iPhone 6 will be released before the end of the year. In addition to using sapphire glass, the two iPhone 6s are thinner, equipped with A8 chips and improved cameras. Apple may announce iWatch in October, and it will be officially released later that month.
