iphone家族已經(jīng)在蘋果的多代產(chǎn)品中使用藍寶石水晶玻璃作為它們的原料,。裝有藍寶石水晶玻璃的后置式攝像鏡頭并且在iphone5s中，鑲嵌著藍寶石水晶玻璃的the Touch ID home按鈕都使得它們更加穩(wěn)固,。Iphone6,，正如之前說的那樣,，整個手機表面都會使用藍寶石水晶玻璃而被人們?nèi)⌒α瞬恢挂淮巍?/span>

這周分析團隊Trendforce的成員們已經(jīng)揭開了一些供應(yīng)鏈的細節(jié)，它將會引導(dǎo)我們相信iphone6將會使用更傳統(tǒng)的表面,，他們暗示蘋果公司和生產(chǎn)廠家互相通話,，生產(chǎn)產(chǎn)商說缺乏對智能機表面玻璃的需求。

但是與此同時,，他們也暗示“藍寶石水晶玻璃版本的iphone6今年將會限量發(fā)售”,，這就表明限量發(fā)售是因為寶石玻璃的生產(chǎn)商的生產(chǎn)率低于預(yù)期以及寶石玻璃的處理，

The iPhone family has used Sapphire Glass for components for several generations. Both the back-facing camera lens and, in the iPhone 5s, the Touch ID home button work with Sapphire Glass to keep them tough. The iPhone 6, as it’s assumed to be called, has been teased more than once to be working with a full Sapphire Glass front panel.

This week the folks at analyst group Trendforce have uncovered some supply chain clues which lead us to believe there’ll be a slightly more traditional front panel on the iPhone 6. They suggest that their contacts in the manufacturing industry show a lack of "demands for smartphone cover glass."

Oddly they also suggest that "the sapphire glass version iPhone 6 will be issued in limited volumes this year," noting that these lower volumes would be because "sapphire ingot manufacturers yield rates were lower than forecasts and [because of] issues involved in sapphire glass processing."
