The Sapphire Crystal is not a Good Material to Protect a Screen Says Tony Tripeny Corning

In recent statements, Tony Tripeny, Corning executive, said that the use of sapphire crystals. And you can already imagine their conclusions. For him, sapphire does not represent improvements or benefits to consumer electronics. A message that was predictable when you consider that Apple could include in its next iPhone or the secret project that Tim Cook hinted at the last meeting of the shareholders.

Corning is a less attractive sapphire 1.6 times heavier, less environmentally demanding more energy to make the choice for the manufacture of Gorilla Glass is ten times more expensive, and allows the brightest displays less light needed, which could have an impact on battery life. Not to mention the most important, while recognizing that this is a scratch resistant Gorilla argues that supports Glass produces more pressure.

Statements that are logical, each defends his business, but they are showing some resentment if they were actually falling at Apple as a client. And the level of production is so high that it would be a few million in revenue would be lost. Something we've seen with other manufacturers like Samsung, despite the conflict that is one of the leading suppliers of components to Apple.
