I concur.
Ultimately phones will reach a timeless pinnacle like watches, sapphire cover plates. Elimination of dumb buttons, no jacks, iwatch is lead with force touch, Expected in iPhone7 or TC is laughing stock (pun intended) of AAPL employees and loses all respect.

Many kilos of sappphire boules shipped out of Mesa, and the iphone speaks of limited distribution.

Who else do you think would have provided the Sapphire and using what tech?

ARC energy (which is being sued by GTAT) doesn't even have the money to update their webisite. They make noise about a big boule but I haven't seen any evidence that it is more than a pipe dream.

You know what they pay for the Mesa 'wind down' in three months? Roughly 3 million. They even got a high six-digit water bill, and it's for cheaper cooling water only. And solar energy on top. With that cost, they can operate at least 100, if not 150 or more furnaces and could by now be sitting on sapphire for at least 10 million cover screens even if they redid them all. A batch fully sufficient until presentation time in September.
