GT to close sapphire plant and sever ties with Apple:

Rumor had it that the then-forthcoming iPhone 6 would use sapphire or sapphire-coated glass to protect their displays from scratches, and it sent GT’s stock climbing. On September 9, Apple announced new iPhones with “ion-strengthened glass,” not sapphire. This sent GT’s stock sliding downward.

Lovely.

Samsung Supplying Apple with Panels for iPad Air 2 and 12.9-Inch ‘iPad Pro’ Later This Year:

The iPad Air 2 is rumored to feature a slightly thinner body, a faster A8 processor, 2GB of RAM, support for Apple Pay, and a Touch ID fingerprint sensor. Meanwhile, the 12.9-inch iPad Pro is said to include a more powerful A8X processor to power its large, high-resolution display.

I dare you to try and pay by holding up a 13” tablet.
