The Russian company became the main suppliers of sapphire glass for the Apple Watch

Russian "crystal" increases the production of 2-inch sapphire wafers 4 to 5 million units per month to meet demand for Apple in sapphire, Digitimes reports, citing industry sources. The company was selected as one of the main suppliers of components for Apple Watch. The attractiveness of the Russian production increased due to the depreciation of the ruble. The increased production will help the "Crystal" to take 30 percent of the global market.





The other main supplier of sapphire wafers that are used in the manufacture of glass for smart watch Apple is China's Harbin Aurora Optoelectronics Technology. The company hopes that manufacturers of smartphones in China will also move to the use of sapphire glass instead of the usual protective coating. However, as stated by the sources, this is hindered by its high cost. If a 5-inch impact-resistant glass is $ 3, a sapphire of the same size – about $ 40.

Japanese Kyocera products also became more competitive due to the weakening of the local currency. However, its 4-inch sapphire wafer is $ 1 more expensive than the Russian.

According to rumors, the next Apple Watch will get a front camera.published
