The super-tough sapphire glass screen will be included in the iPhone 6, which is not just a rumor or a wish any more, since an expert who spoke to Apple confirmed it with the Guardian.
You might be impressed with a video leaked this Monday, showing a 4.7-inch sapphire screen being attacked by a knife and a bunch of keys, and bent under a foot without any scratch, dent or break.
Apple has officially commented on why its older devices may not perform as expected.
Sometimes Apple loses sight of what they think consumers want versus what we really want.
I was on the fence about the Iphone8 or the new Samsung but that new Galaxy is looking damn good right now... peace apple!
This is more Apple BS. When Apple launches a phone, they try to get as much sales as possible, even at the expense of their own customer base. A new iphone is released and suddenly your phone starts working like crap, obviously it makes the new iphone more appealing. They've been doing this since the original iphone. Funny how this isn't a problem for any other phone manufacturer.
I think it's more that continually evolving software updates bloat and eventually render the device sluggish. New code is written to take advantage of new hardware, at the expense of owners of the older models.
so then why even bother updating the older hardware if thats the case. i mean, its not like the older OS is not safe or unstable so why the need to update it. everything works just fine as is. ever heard if it aint broke.....
Several Chinese iPhone users have claimed that their handsets caught fire or exploded, according to a Shanghai consumer watchdog which called on tech giant Apple to address the complaints.
iPhone 6 and 6 Plus owners worldwide are being plagued by “Touch Disease” — a display issue that causes a flickering gray bar to appear at the top of their screen.
Hmmm... Very interesting. Absolutely cool on the damage resistance and all...
But, I will still buy a flip close case for my iPhone 6 when I get it.
Sapphire glass actually has value 9 on the Mohs scale so basically it would be really hard to scratch that thing unless you have >9 value material such as diamond to scratch it with. (glass is 5.5-7, hardened steel is 7)
About time they fixed this problem. I drop my phone all the time and never had it crack on me, but I have the rubber(ish) glass protector on it.
So weird seeing a friend simply have their iPhone slip out of their hand and pick it up to see a huge crack across the screen.
That means that Apple is slowly following Samsung's route by releasing a 5-6'' phones..
