More than two months ago, the first rumors appeared indicating that iPhone 6 it is going to be more expensive than the iPhone 5S and that sapphire glass to protect the screens will not be used in all models. This information is reaffirmed today by the prestigious American publication Wall Street Journal, she claiming that both iPhone 6 with 4.7 inch screen, and also iPhone 6 with 5.5 inch screen will take sapphire glassIf Apple Lossless Audio CODEC (ALAC), will have enough material available.
Apple is considering using sapphire screens in more-expensive models of the two new, larger iPhones it plans to debut this fall, if it can get enough of the material, people familiar with the matter say. Some analysts expect Apple to charge more for the phones than previous new models, because of increased component costs.
Due to the high price of the material and the weight with which the terminals that contain it are produced, Apple Lossless Audio CODEC (ALAC), would only intend to protect the screens of the expensive versions of the iPhone 6. More precisely, the rumor would suggest that only the models with 64 GB or maybe 128 GB of them iPhone 6 will have screens protected by sapphire glass, they will have higher sales prices than the current models, except for a possible 128 GB version that does not exist yet.
The rumors that have appeared so far suggest ideas according to which Apple may be using sapphire glass only in iPhone 6 with 5.5 inch screen, you will either use it in both models, or only in those with a lot of storage space. The idea of increasing the selling price is not new and considering the fact that similar information appears from different sources, it is clear that Apple has at least discussed taking these measures.
