Wind down operations? So where is the Apple Watch saphire glass being made? Looks like me gonna get some ion-infused glass with my Apple Watch. Well, if I were actually buying one, which I'm not.
Not like Apple to be involved in such a public and embarrassing situation. Maybe Apple knew something, and pull the trigger on saphire for the 6...

You might be right, but I doubt any of the alternate vendors will be willing to sign that extortionist contract that GTA signed. Signed voluntarily I might add. Stupid, stupid, stupid deal.
GT, meet Samsung. Samsung, meet GT.

He didn't sell *all* stocks; he sold a very small percentage of the stock he owned in a sale that was planned 6 months ago.
People, please get this right. He sold all his *socks*, but still has stocks remaining. He planned this 6 months ago. So it begs the question, what did he know 6 months ago?

Wonder if Corning is feeling vindicated by this?
Corning could only feel vindicated if GT brought a product to market, Apple used it, and people started having their sapphire screens cracked at the slightest of applied force. Then Corning could feel vindicated (by the bad Apple/GT press). As it stands now, Corning could feel optimistic they will be selling more glass to Apple for future iPhones.

Why doesn't GT just hire Ashton Kutcher as a sapphire engineer and be done with this message hiccup??? I herad Ashton has been hanging around Ive's Cupertino office... one more thing?

Winding down? Gee, it seems just like yesterday that the plant was humming along, producing 50,000 sapphire screens per day. How time flies!
