With rumors abounding over the new iPhone 6 in full force and with images being leaked online of the new phone even before it heads to mass production next month, a flaw apparently has been reportedly that has a number of observers scratching their head. It is in response to the rumored sapphire display that promotes itself as being scratch resistant.
Some say that this is being disputed after it was pushed in the media as "impossible to scratch." Observers say this might not be as true as Apple has wanted the general population to believe. One user employed sandpaper to scratch the sapphire crystal coating.
According to tech observer Marques Brownlee, he was able to put some wear and tear on the screen, including a few scratches. While most average users are not expected to take sandpaper to their phone, it does show a few glitches in the lead-up marketing campaign from Apple that had promoted the display as being scratch resistant. It still might be in terms of everyday use, but not entirely 100 percent scratch-proof.
It comes on the heels of new images being published that allegedly show the new iPhone 6 and its expected features. While much of the coverage of the new Apple smartphone is all conjecture until Apple debunks a number of topics hitting the Web, the excitement over the new phone is already heating up.
As Tech Times reported earlier this month, Apple is reportedly preparing for the manufacturing of the new iPhone and factories could get to work as early as next month.
As a result of the expected production schedule, the company is rumored to be hiring a number of additional workers for manufacturing. It could be hiring as many as 100,000 employees to deliver the high number of devices that are expected to be needed.
The company has been forceful with its upcoming product releases, with Senior VP Eddy Cue launching speculation ahead of the Worldwide Developers Conference held in June in San Francisco.
"Later this year, we've got the best product pipeline that I've seen in my 25 years at Apple," Cue told attendees, sparking much speculation on just what was in the pipeline.
