Apple Sapphire Heart dead truth theory secret

Wei Feng Network Yuecuoyueyong to show its mettle! Even if the use of sapphire Apple Corp repeatedly blocked, but their interest in this material has not been reduced.

In October last year, Apple's sapphire glass production partner GT Advanced Technologies officially filed for bankruptcy protection, recently more news between GT Advanced Technologies and Apple Corp reached a new agreement, the main content is related to GT in other ways to repay them for Apple's $439 million in debt. Specifically, GT will auction their production facilities in November 23rd, including about 600 sapphire furnaces. You may feel that, Apple Corp may have no interest in sapphire.

But this is not the case, even if the relationship with the sapphire supplier GT Advanced has been developed to such a situation, but Apple Corp interest in this material has not been reduced sapphire. Earlier this year, Apple Corp also applied for a patent related to sapphire cutting technology. A system and method for laser cutting sapphire using a variety of gas media. "Which describes a new method of laser cutting sapphire, Apple also made it clear that this cutting method is mainly used to cut the use of portable mobile devices on the cover glass. These devices include iPhone, iPad, iPod, and Apple Watch.

There is also a "ceramic surface of the electronic device shell," which shows that apple is developing a new Sapphire screen technology. Apple plans to use laser ablation technology, in the thickness of 0.3-1.0 mm sapphire wafer etched wedge groove, while using the jet cooling material, by way of melting ceramic. Then Apple will use iPhone on the shell frame design, on the side of the corresponding tenon and groove, sapphire glass on the tight fit, the formation of strong and seamless interlocking structure. Apple also plans to add ceramic reinforcements to the frame, such as ceramic fibers. In addition, Apple has received a lot of technical patents related to sapphire.

Since the Advanced apple and GT signed the contract, iPhone will be equipped with sapphire glass screen has never stopped, even today, GT Advanced has gone bankrupt, but the industry is still very concerned about the use of this material Apple Corp. Compared with the competitors Corelle gorilla glass, sapphire glass has a stronger ability to scratch. But Corelle has always stressed that sapphire glass is not as perfect as people imagine, not only the high cost, but also heavier and more fragile. Currently, Apple's sapphire glass plan is full of uncertainty, which is good news for Corelle, after all, because the sapphire processing difficulty is not generally high, while Apple wants to use large amounts of this material in the equipment, whether it is for material collection and processing factory production, is very difficult high challenge. Apple Corp not only need to make the technology in place, but also need to find a reliable partner, to provide them with adequate supply.
