The next iPhone’s display will not only be larger, it could be so strong that you may not need a case.
According to a new report, Apple is opening a manufacturing plant in Mesa, Arizona to build sapphire crystal screens for the iPhone 6. The facility could pump out as many as 116 million 5-inch displays per year.
So why sapphire crystal? The material is supposedly tougher and more scratch resistant than Corning’s Gorilla Glass.
That means an accidental drop or brushing up against your keys may not ruin your next iPhone.
The iPhone 6 is also rumoured to feature a higher-resolution display, a more advanced camera with optical image stabilization and wireless charging capabilities.
Other reports suggest the device could sport a Liquid metal body, which would make Apple’s sequel one tough customer all the way around.
