Apple did on iPhone6 sapphire screen, but it did not "give up hope." According to sources, Apple's Foxconn will produce sapphire for the iPhone screen.

Although no experience Foxconn production of artificial sapphire, but the company was interested but then this material. Over the past few years, Foxconn has been active in a variety of applications for patents related to sapphire. Currently, it owns patents include sapphire sapphire with LCD screen, screen protective sapphire, sapphire, sapphire laser cutting training methods and materials.

In order to meet the supply needs of the iPhone's screen, Apple needs to 3000 production of 165 kg sapphire furnace, or 200 262 kg of production furnaces. Sources said, Foxconn has purchased a large sapphire furnace planting, prepare to expand sapphire supply chain.

If Apple wants to adopt sapphire screen on the next-generation iPhone, then it must be deployed before the spring of next year production furnaces.

GTAT sapphire sequelae is still a major problem Apple

Splendid sapphire iPhone illusion has been shattered in the last year. Even more distressing is that the original co-production with Apple sapphire manufacturers GT Advanced Technologies (hereinafter referred to as GTAT) filed for bankruptcy, and also to repay hundreds of millions of dollars of Apple. iPhone 6 no sapphire is still very popular, Apple naturally laugh laugh. But the problem is Apple Watch it? At the press conference, but Apple claims that this device will sapphire version.

Not only is Apple Watch, rumors of a new generation of iPhone this year will also be used sapphire screen, and this is one of Apple's major problem to be solved in 2015.

After GTAT event, pick apples for sapphire manufacturers will no doubt be more stringent quality control of their products will be more demanding. Last year, there was news that Foxconn is trying to encroach on the sapphire had never been involved in their field, and its purpose is the only big apple Sheep. If Foxconn sapphire business runs smoothly, then either the Apple Watch the next iPhone or even iPad and Mac are likely to become their cash cow.

But Apple seems even Foxconn has a small partner for many years, if they can not produce in line with Apple's standard sapphire products, the possibility of the two sides fell out of the still very large.

Apple's former sapphire glass supplier GT Advanced Technologies, said the company plans to sell sapphire furnace to pay a portion of its former partner Apple cash.

These furnaces were originally supplied to Apple for sapphire glass and installation, for which, GT Advanced $ 439 million loan to Apple.

In order to Apple supplier, GT Advanced Sapphire materials to increase production by investing heavily. The company in October this year, complaining that the supply contract led to its bankruptcy. The news shocked investors, its stock price has plunged more than 90 percent, to less than $ 1. Then the stock suspension.

GT Advanced lawyer Luke Adams Deiss product (Luc Despins) before the court had said he expected the price of each furnace is at least $ 500,000.

Following the GT Apple has a sapphire screen suppliers fall

Apple sapphire glass supplier GT Advanced Technologies (hereinafter referred to as GT) declared bankruptcy, Taiwan Shenghua Group two subsidiaries in Dongguan --- Massgood LCD Co., Ltd. and Liansheng (China) Technology Co., Ltd. on the 10th recently announced the official production downtime, and actively seek the integration and restructuring. The Wintek Group, Taiwan's largest LCD manufacturer, Apple, Samsung and other mobile phone suppliers.

Apple Nadia: The Secret of Blue Water

First, the sapphire is indeed a gem. Blue sapphire is usually processed into jewelry, but there are also some sapphire is transparent, so this type of sapphire can be applied in the smart phone display. Sapphire is one of the most hardest substance on earth at present, its hardness value of 9 mol (moles hardness values up to 10), second only to diamond hardness (10), and often in excess at a temperature of 3600 ° F (about 1982 ° C) the furnace synthesis. This means that only with the same hardness diamond material damage to it - unless equipped with a diamond in your pocket, or else in a pocket in a few months with a sapphire screen phone, the screen will not be any scratches.

Obviously, this is consistent with Apple's stringent requirements for the screen always. However, in August, the domestic mobile phone Huawei launched the first version of the P7 Sapphire, Apple's phone has no trace of sapphire, a look at the screen supplier GT accident bankrupt.

GT combined with Apple's difficult from the outset. Before entering into an agreement with Apple, GT sapphire production yet. And after the signing of the agreement, although you can bring billions of dollars in revenue, but it also means that the volatility of demand, low profit margins and low fault tolerance space. GT especially after the bankruptcy, insolvency Apple accused party "mismanagement", but GT has large inverted grievances: "Apple repeatedly to change the specifications of the document said Sapphire, GT has spent $ 900 million (more than $ 439 million provided by Apple two. fold) was built at the factory and make it operational, "Each side, finally, an apple or sit back, wondering to send the iphone7-- even rumors, Foxconn will become Apple's sapphire suppliers.

Wintek capital chain a problem

Taiwan Shenghua Group capital chain problems, in September had significant time horizon, "Mid-Autumn Festival, the company in the absence of any notice, no fat moon cake festival in previous years and the elimination of bonuses of $ 600 per person, triggering employee downtime three days and three nights in a row. "since the supplier's statistics show that this Liansheng size of about 120 million in arrears.

More representative of the argument is that "a few years ago the display industry is very fire, Wintek developing very fast in China after Jiangsu has linked East Massgood two plants under construction, and in 2010 in Dongguan Songshan Lake invest more than 100 million building covers an area of 600 acres of Liansheng (China) Technology Co., Ltd .. never expected, the poor market response, the expansion plans on hold. the most direct phenomenon is Liansheng area than Massgood large, but the number of employees less than Massgood three thousand. "

Embarrassing display factory

This is actually a common problem in the display industry. Over the past few years, many companies in pursuit of market share, the financial leverage used more extreme, adventure expansion. Look at the rapid development of the industry no crisis, but when slowing down or getting into the industry level, the debt problem will become a tinderbox, somewhat trouble, there will be a vendor to run businesses, corporate customers are not being paid owed money, but not the debt providers, which are prone to the risk of money-strand breaks.

Wintek has been Apple's iPhone and iPad touchscreen second largest supplier. Said the person, according to the company's prospects for growth in iPhone sales, expanded its production facilities, but with Apple's turn to produce thinner display technology that he could not keep up. This allows the company over the past few years, brought to its knees, and fell into an operating loss.

"Apple's suppliers had a common --- they get the order cost is very high, there are capacity expansion, we need a lot of input." Long-term concern display industry chain Walsall consulting analyst Liyuan Kai said that in the process many manufacturers have not survive, can succeed in the minority. But as long as demand can actually solve the apple, the back is a steady stream of orders, stable, reliable, and more "Apple foundry" brand endorsement, get the rest of orders to other plants will be relatively easy.

But as technology has also lost technology, technical process failed to enhance the direct driving down yields, these costs must be themselves, and ultimately lead to funding strand breaks.

Apple suppliers future in what?

Become Apple's supplier factories seems to be a lot of signs, but behind it is a high-risk and low profits. According to 2013 data, Apple 748 suppliers in more than 600 in Asia, 331 in China, and an apple suppliers experiencing the test, some still persist, and some fell. "It's money well earned," an Asian suppliers from Apple executives exclaimed.

Secret Apple's reasons for failure sapphire screen program

Originally expected to provide super-hard for Apple iPhone 6 sapphire panel supplier GT Advanced Technologies, Inc. (hereinafter referred to as GT), its chief executive officer in the Pacific time early October 6th 7:00 am, and call an Apple vice president, said the GT filed for bankruptcy protection in the 20 minutes before.

According to Apple's claims of creditors of the GT, Apple to ease the financial strain GT problem has been going to some concessions on both sides of the contract. The next day the two sides plan to restore executives at Apple headquarters for talks. Therefore, GT announced the news of Apple's bankruptcy down by surprise.

Apple, with its strict management of the global supply chain has become the world's most valuable company. Since its advent in 2007 of the first-generation iPhone, Apple through its suppliers continue to compress the cost and time, instead of promoting these suppliers reached a nearly impossible goal. However, Apple's cooperation with the GT eventually abortion, which is considered a major misstep Apple.

GT bankruptcy highlights Apple's suppliers as prospects and risks. Apple's orders to create a multibillion-dollar revenue, but at the same time it also means that adaptation in meager profits huge fluctuations in demand, not a little mishap. "It's not easy to earn money." Apple has a long-term supplier in Asia said.

Apple's history of cooperation with the GT

iPhone has always been there screen scratches and cracking problems, Apple plans to use sapphire precisely in order to find a solution. Sapphire is one of the hardest material in the world, now is usually synthesized in the calcination temperature of 2000 degrees oven. Meanwhile, the sapphire is expensive - glass is more than five times.

Only the iPhone's camera and fingerprint reader replaced sapphire products, Apple would consume a quarter of global production of sapphire. Early last year, Apple began to find more suppliers, in order to be able to use on the iPhone screen sapphire. The difficulties encountered in this process, Apple had contact with other companies outside of GT, one of the company's executives said, given the price of an apple, the production of sapphire simply to make money.

GT's in New Hampshire, homemade sapphire furnace production. According to Apple's claims of creditors of view of GT, GT inform Apple last March, they are developing a new furnace can produce 262 kg of sapphire ingots (cylindrical crystal ingot), was more than twice the maximum ingot. This large ingot can be cut more panels, but also reduce costs.

Secret Apple sapphire screen program failed Cause 1

A few days, GT has signed an agreement with Apple last October 31, on the GT produced the first batch of 262 kg sapphire ingot after. According to Apple executives describe the people around him, then covered the first ingot cracks, all unusable. They also said that the quality of GT's sapphire necessarily rhetoric has increased, it has successfully developed a larger furnace performance but also to Apple's encouraged.

GT is mentioned in the bankruptcy filing, Apple intends to acquire its newly developed 2600 furnace. However, Apple is not willing to pay an extra 40% of the profits in the acquisition of the furnace, when a person closely with senior GT Road.

Apple worked GT provides a $ 578 million loan, so that the 2036 GT manufacturing units furnace, and the establishment of the factory in Mesa, Arizona, expects its sapphire production can reach more than 30 times when the world's largest plant. Apple plans to buy the plant, and then spent $ 500 million to renovate rebuilt last year to $ 100 leased GT's. GT is very interested in this, as compared with the supply of equipment, this cooperation GT project will bring more steady income. Moreover, when the production of solar cells GT equipment business has been in trouble, the business profit in 2013 decreased by 66% over two years ago.

Earlier this year, Apple's turn to make GT began producing sapphire. GT for the expansion of the company in a short time recruited 700 employees. A former manager, some aspects of the recruitment process is too hasty, so that when the end of March this year, there are more than 100 new recruits who do not know the story should go. Two former employees said, adding that the company has not even time and attendance system, leading to a lot of people long-term sick leave.

The beginning of time, GT manager of the company also approved unlimited overtime for employees to fill the furnace raw material for mass production of sapphire. Another two former employees described, GT had not yet create enough furnaces, so many employees with nothing to do.

"We were just back and forth sweeping the ground," a former top employee GT says, "It feels like we sweep the money out the door."

Facts have proved that the production process is the biggest difference between the sapphire storm. Piece ingot production had almost spent 30 days time, cost about $ 20,000. Moreover, according to the people around Apple executives said that such ingot produced more than half are unusable.

GT closely with senior people said, GT will scrap ingots neatly stored in Mesa factory, also allows employees to "ingot cemetery" where the defective products labeled.

Secret Apple's reasons for the failure of two sapphire screen program

Apple and GT mutual shirk responsibility

GT COO Daniel Squiller in bankruptcy court that Apple has put his company into a "captive" suppliers, "bear all the risks and all the costs." GT is not possible when the price of Apple decided to make money, he said.

A GT's creditors revealed that Apple is due to the failure of the GT GT the company's own management problems, and this argument is also used by Apple's consent on the Wall Street Journal. "We have always been committed to making the project successful, never wavered."

Squiller said, because power outages and delays in the construction of the production line, GT company lost a total output of three months, Apple GT production line and a power supply problem should be responsible for it. However, according to Apple's point of view on the GT version of creditors, GT bankruptcy should be attributed to "mismanagement" and not a power interruption.

"Apple's remarks were deliberately mislead public opinion, absolutely not true." GT brief statement in an interview, "We do not need to discuss all the problems one by one."

By the end of April this year, Apple should have lent $ 578 million GT of loans detained last 139 million, saying it was because GT did not reach the yield and quality requirements of the contract.

The GT that Apple changing the specifications of sapphire in the bankruptcy filing requirements. Said, GT in order to build and operate the plant total cost of $ 900 million - more than twice the $ 439 million loan provided by Apple.

GT suddenly declared bankrupt

Allegedly, this year's June 6, GT CEO Thomas Gutierrez, vice president and two of Apple's headquarters in Cupertino, Apple met on product issues were explained. He provided a document, "what is the problem," named, lists a total of 17 issues, including improper maintenance of furnaces, furnace specifications negligence is not uniform and so on. Gutierrez said he had to take responsibility for the company's losses. After meeting with Apple executives, in order to meet the requirements of sapphire, GT decided to stop production of 262 kg ingots, and instead of producing 165 kg.

After the ingot quality standards, GT will use a diamond saw to cut into 35 cm thick ingot ingot, it's just the shape of the upper and lower surfaces of two new Apple iPhone: iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 plus. This ingot is then cut through the layers to, it can be used to make screens.

However, GT problem is not limited to the production process. According to a former employee, said in August this year, GT 500 had to be packing and shipping of sapphire ingot lost, a few hours later, those employees that a manager will be recycled back to the ingot. If not in time to get back to the ingot, this failure will make GT suffered hundreds of thousands of dollars in losses.

To the moment when Apple is expected the new iPhone on September 19 sale will not be used sapphire screen almost become finalized. However, according to informed sources, Apple is still hoping to get as much of sapphire products. According to Apple's statement, the number of products to produce only 10% of GT prior commitments.

GT closely with senior people that Apple sapphire quality requirements change frequently, sometimes even a few days ago to accept the return of the ingot.

They also said that the first week of September, GT inform Apple said the company in a serious cash flow problems. GT asked Apple to provide the last part of the $ 139 million loan, and to increase the purchase price of sapphire from 2015 onwards.

Apple revealed who, October 1 GT Apple intends to provide $ 100 million in loans and extend its repayment. Apple is willing to play instantly raise the price of sapphire, and consider in 2015 to further improve the price. Meanwhile, Apple also consider relaxing the exclusive sales, making the GT furnace can be sold to other customers. The parties intend on this series on October 7 matters discussed in detail at Apple headquarters.

After this is October 6 through the phone that morning, GT Gutierrez told Apple CEO, his company has filed for bankruptcy protection. Apple reportedly Gutierrez fear obstruct, before going to mention this.

After this announcement, GT's stock plunged 93%, $ 1.4 billion market value evaporated. Source: Wall Street Journal
