Rumors about the iPhone 6 have continued to flood across Internet sites. While it's set to make its official debut some time in 2014, though, consumers are anxiously waiting to find out exactly what system features the iPhone 6 will have. Now, it turns out that Apple's newly-opened manufacturing plant in Arizona may be gearing up to produce bigger sapphire-crystal displays.
The sapphire screens would be tougher than the average. And it seems as if the company now has the equipment to start producing these screens, according 9to5Mac. Most likely, Apple will incorporate these new screens in the iPhone 6. Yet it's not only the smartphone that will get an upgrade. The sapphire components could also be used for future caps for camera sensors and Apple Touch ID fingerprint readers.
Current Apple iPhone models sport Gorilla Glass displays, according to VentureBeat. This means that the new sapphire screens would be a welcome addition to the latest rendition of the iPhone. Yet while Apple CEO Tim Cook admitted that the new Arizona plant will be creating sapphire crystal for future devices, he declined to elaborate about which devices these might be.
It seems very likely that future devices include the iPhone 6, though. Apple and GT Advanced have signed a deal which will make between 100 million and 200 million sapphire glass displays, according to Geeky Gadgets.
This isn't the only rumor that's appeared when it comes to the iPhone 6, though. It's likely that the new phone will feature the next-generation A8 mobile processor, according to DigiTimes. In addition, it's likely the iPhone 6 will have two screen sizes--a 4.7 or 4.8-inch and a 5.5-inch.
So what exactly is in store for the iPhone 6? Good question, and we're still waiting to hear official reports from Apple. What features would you like to see on the new phone?
