Because the high-end devices segment continues to generate a better profit, Corning is trying to regain some market share.
We have a great pleasure to protect our phone or tablet with all kinds of accessories, from cases, to sheets and covers.
Although the Gorilla Glass is everywhere at the moment, without having a fabulous number of online advertisements, one of Corning directors felt the need to be quite aggressive on the sapphire adoption by most companies. These allegations come just weeks after Apple bought a sapphire U.S. factory that will be heavily used on the iPhone 6 panels or their iWatch.
On this occasion we learn that James Flaws, Corning vice-president, has a very radical view across the benefits of what they produce. Even more than that, though we all know how scratch resistant sapphire crystal is to fallings, it comes with some significant disadvantages.
“When we look at it, we see many disadvantages for sapphire compared with Gorilla Glass. It is about 10 times more expensive. Is 1.6 times heavier. It is not environmentally friendly. It is required 100-times higher amount of energy than the sapphire glass. Transmit less light, which means one of two things, darker images or lesser autonomy.”
Although such claims have little sense, given the solid dose of subjectivity to the quoted one, above statements are not absurd, they even have a solid foundation. If you enjoy statistics, by this time, been shown on numerous occasions that a glass protected with Gorilla Glass is up to 2.5 times more resistant to pressure than one covered with sapphire.
