Series 6 Alum have Sapphire ?

[harleymhs]

I looked in the tech specs of the S6 and I don't see anything that mentions the glass on the front , I Don't think the new Alum S6 has the sapphire can someone point me in the right direction to see if it has it or not? Thanks!

I also have this question regarding the glass on the Aluminium vs Stainless Steel

 

[Brien]

I can only find mention of the rear case ceramic/sapphire. No mention of front glass/sapphire anywhere for any model I can see.

It seems that Apple no longer lists this in the specs of AW6. Are they all ion-x glass now?

 

[morg0052]

trying to figure this out as well....

 

[sparkles61785]

I noticed this too! I need to know, because I may cancel my SS order.

 

[soupcxan]

I too am interested in the answer to this. Can't find it on their website.

 

[morg0052]

its my favorite feature of the ss, the ion glass used to scratch like crazy with a watch

yeah... if they all became ion-x, might as well get the new blue/red aluminium

hmmm I may not go SS again this year if this is true

Apple customer support just told me that internal docs say that SS and up are still sapphire, but she’s looking for a public facing doc that confirms this.

I got the same info from Apple Chat as well...weird that it doesn't show on the site.

 

[Never mind]

Just like Apple, and iPad where they don’t tell you how much ram you have and have to find out later.

 

[dojoman]

That's why I said same question every yr just like last yr. it was missing then later Apple updated.

 

[Böhme417]

And here I was wishing they would just put sapphire on all the models...

 

[jz0309]

some folks in other threads are posting that Apple support confirmed it is still sapphire for SS and Ti ... just hope that the website will reflect that soon

 

[Germao]

So the stainless steel watch still has sapphire glass?

Should be unless Apple took it out without telling us just like removing charger.

 

[Fred Zed]

Just back is sapphire.

It is rather odd Apple didn’t bother to put Sapphire glass on the tech specs.

If it were to end up having the cheap glass, I would do an immediate return. No way I would pay that kind of money for the ion x glass.

That and sapphire glass is a really good sales pitch.

 

[Lobwedgephil]

I will return if ion-x glass also, had it once and scratched like crazy.

 

[timothevs]

Yeah, I too was looking for this information. All I could find said that the BACK was Sapphire Glass. Nothing about the front.
