The 2000 sapphire furnaces GTAT constructed produced defective sapphire about half the time.

The high risk inherent in the furnace approach justified Apple's decision not to purchase the furnaces.

The report also makes clear exactly what went wrong: GTAT had committed to an experimental production approach that was a failure from the beginning.
