iPhone 6 May Lose Sapphire Display Cover, Gain 128 GB Storage Option

Here's hoping that 128gb finally is an offered storage option. Don't see the need for a 16gb any longer.
Don't kid yourself, he forecasted 2013 pretty damn well!

Stopped reading when i saw "analyst." Their guesses aren't any better than anyone else's on this forum.
I don't think that he's addressing the sapphire camera lens cover, I think he's addressing the sapphire screen, but for some reason decided to refer to it as a lens. Of course the way the Macrumors article around the quote is written, they just copy what he says, confusing the matter more.
It doesn't make any sense why they would remove the camera cover due to cracking during drop tests, the screen cracking seems like it would be much more of an issue.

So now everybody trusts him when on the last post everybody was saying how inaccurate he is?
Oh ok.
Oh ok.
You'd think Apple would have have done some drop tests before building a sapphire plant?!?
Hopefully, if the rumor is true, it's only a temporary problem and they can still make an improved screen cover at some time in the future. As already stated, S may well equal sapphire next year.
Otherwise they can now sell sapphire to Samsung who is surely clamoring to "pre-copy" Apple on the feature. Then their next S version can stand for "shatter."

PS: how does anyone here who intends on purchasing a 128GB phone justify such a high-priced device?
Assuming the unlocked price for the 4.7" iPhone 6 (16GB) is $649 (already expensive), we'd be looking at 32/64/128 -> 749/849/949, and *assuming* the 5.5" is $100 more per increment, that's $1049 for the highest storage option.
I mean, I love my iPhone... use it every day and so on... but man, I personally can't imagine spending near $1000 for such a small device with such a fast turnover. Are people that careless with storage that they're willing to jump up $300 to store more stuff? There's so many cloud options nowadays too.
Then again, I don't have my parent's money or inheritance to fall back on.

128GB? Sold. Always bought the highest storage option possible since the 3G (3G 16GB, 4 32GB, 5 64GB) so a 96 or 128GB option is number one on my wish list for any new handset. My obsessively curated iTunes library and Spotify premium subscription demands it!
If is really programmable I hope they allow to customise it.
I may use the button to launch the camera then take a shot with the volume button, and use it to shut down the phone with a veeeery long press.
I'm a bit skeptical with the button's position, wouldn't have been better to leave it in the upper right side?
Music. Legitimately bought, ripped at the highest lossy AAC bitrate. Just my Beatles collection (stereo & mono 2009 box sets, BBC vols 1&2, Anthology 1,2&3, US Albums box set etc) takes up 7.8GB. Do I arguably need to carry all of this around with me? No. Could I get away with decanting music on and off? Yes, have done to date. Will I pay for the ability/facilty to cart around all of my carefully curated music collection full of specifically chosen mastering etc with me all of the time? Yes, and happily.
What many people desire in terms of ever increasing screen sizes for TV & sports viewing I have in storage capacity and maintaining or improving the 'good enough' audio outlook quality.
Great post. This guy has been accurate - AT TIMES - so it's interesting to see what information he is sharing and his history.
