Not really. I'm very excited!

I bet the "S" models will have it.

You're very excited about the lack of sapphire crystal display?

what a letdown

It was just a rumor.

Given that the most recent tests of the materials indicated it's still not a good choice for a large phone front...shouldn't we be happy about this news?

They never usually announce what the screen is made from do they? Other than the original iPhone they have never confirmed that they even use Gorilla Glass, as far as I'm aware.

I am sure since it has not been perfected, they decided not to go with it. It is a bummer though as we all saw many prototypes.

No. The lack of a sapphire display is not that big of a deal. I'm still excited about the 6.

The results of uBreakiFix's tests show that sapphire is significantly more scratch resistant and 25 percent stronger than Gorilla Glass, but it is much more susceptible to impacts due to its brittleness. The glass is so brittle that it shattered the first time it was dropped face down from a height of only three feet.

Enjoy your scratch-free broken screen.

All my iPhones but the 4 had scratched backs but perfect fronts when I sold them. 4 was perfect on both sides, no need for saphire glass for me.

How about adamantium? It's the stuff Wolverine's skeleton and claws are made of

It'll be iPhone 6S (Saphire) big feature.

I bet the "S" models will have it.

S Models are going to be beast next year. Sapphire screen. 2gb ram. Quad core? 10-13MP I bet.

In show biz you always leave the audience wanting more!

Hey, I'm just happy after waiting 7 years for a larger screen that I'm moving up from 3.5" to 5.5"

Some of us actually choose to live in reality.
However not using a sapphire crystal display on the iPhones is no deal breaker for me.

what a letdown

If it was sapphire glass everyone would be complaining because it's been proven that sapphire glass is more scratch resistant but shatters more easily if it's dropped.

My bet is on the iPhone 8..

That was a joke. Just couldn't find an emoji to add.
