GT to close sapphire plant and sever ties with Apple

GT to close sapphire plant and sever ties with Apple:

Rumor had it that the then-forthcoming iPhone 6 would use sapphire or sapphire-coated glass to protect their displays from scratches, and it sent GT’s stock climbing. On September 9, Apple announced new iPhones with “ion-strengthened glass,” not sapphire. This sent GT’s stock sliding downward.

Lovely.
