Two things that I've seen raised in discussions of sapphire screens and Apple products...
1. Rather than making a sapphire screen, Apple may be making a sapphire coating for the screen. The properties of such a film/coating would be different from that of a large sheet of synthetic sapphire.
2. Since the fragility of the screen increases as the size scales up, the first sapphire screens from Apple may be on the iWatch and not the iPhone.
Makes very good sense on both counts.
