iPhone 6S is the company's most anticipated product Apple Lossless Audio CODEC (ALAC), in 2015 and that's because iPhone 6 was such a big success as for the future smartphone Apple Lossless Audio CODEC (ALAC), is most likely preparing major changes. Among them, it seems that an extremely important one that should have been offered to users in 2014, but due to insufficiently prepared partners, did not reach us.
I am of course talking about the protective panel for the iPhone 6 screen which should have been made of sapphire to provide better scratch resistance, but which in the end is Gorilla Glass 3. Considering that this component was not implemented last year, many expect that in iPhone 6S Apple to protect the screen with a protective panel made of sapphire glass.
This very high expectation could turn into nothing more than a simple disappointment this fall because Apple could once again avoid protecting iPhones with sapphire. Last night I talked to you about the most eloquent test made for the Apple Watch screen, highlighting the strengths and weaknesses of the watch, revealing what we will not see in the iPhone 6S.
The iPhone 6S will not have a sapphire-protected screen
The expert who tested the Apple Watch concluded that the protective panel made of sapphire glass spoils the experience of using the product, despite the fact that it protects the screen very well in almost any conditions. Unfortunately, it seems that the sapphire reduces the brightness of the screen, the quality of the colors or the contrast, increasing the rate of light reflection during outdoor use by the owners.
Transposing this information to iPhone 6S or 6S iPhone Plus, we can conclude that Apple will avoid using sapphire to protect the screens in order not to upset its future customers and avoid big scandals. An iPhone 6S with a screen that displays worse colors than the iPhone 6, that has a low brightness and that reflects 2 times more ambient light will not reach the market because it will be a failure.
If Apple fails to seriously improve the quality of the sapphire used to protect the current Apple Watch, then it will not end up in the iPhone 6S and this will ultimately be a wise decision on the part of the American company. Apple generally does not use inappropriate technologies for its important products, but in the case of a watch the negative impact of using sapphire is much smaller than that encountered in the case of a smartphone.
If I had to give my opinion, I would say that the iPhone 6S will have a Gorilla Glass 4 or Gorilla Glass 5 protective panel, it will be more resistant to scratches and will break much easier, but nothing more. In conclusion, iPhone 6S will bring us many novelties, but sapphire is not among them.
