“An investment note we’ve seen from analyst and GTAT [GT Advanced] investor Matt Margolis claims that all 5.5-inch models of the iPhone 6 will come with sapphire screens, while the 4.7-inch model will get either sapphire or Gorilla Glass depending on the specification,” Ben Lovejoy reports for 9to5Mac.
According to sources close to Foxconn’s manufacturing operations the iPhone 6 will come built with sapphire cover screens in both sizes. These sources have also indicated that the 4.7” Phone 6 is being assembled in two varieties, a sapphire cover screen version and a version featuring Gorilla Glass. At this point I do not know the approximate mix between the two cover screen options on the 4.7” iPhone 6. My latest check on the 5.5” iPhone 6 indicates that all units of the device are expected to come protected by a sapphire cover screen at this point. – Analyst Matt Margolis

So, were looking at iPhone 6, 6c and 6+?
No. Bottom of the range iP6, probably 8/16Gb versions will have GG, 64Gb 4.7″ and all 5.5″ will have sapphire: simples.
There may be a iP6C, if so it’ll be 4.7″, and have GG.
I’m not an analyst, it’s just common sense that the low-end products get the cheaper glass, it’s more than good enough.
Wha?
The “c” version will be GG. They will not differentiate depending on capacity. That makes no sense.
I think the iPhone 5s becomes the metal-backed colorful iPhone 6c with GG.
The iPhone 6 is 4.7″ Sapphire
The iPhone 6 Air is 5.5″
My brain hurts
Or they could do 6, 6c and 6s (Sapphire!) out of the gate.
All of them will be so 6e to look at!
Have we seen every possible permutation of this rumor yet?
11 more days of rumor-mongering left! Git yer web-bating guesses in now folks!
Analyst Matt Margolis needs to get a life.
Bottom line: Buy GTAT stock.
Duh.
?
Why put the sapphire on the least portable size?
Baloney !
