Apple to Open Sapphire Manufacturing Plant by February

Back in November, Apple announced that it will open a new sapphire manufacturing plant in Arizona. And now new evidence appeared that proves such plans.

As 9to5Mac reports, the guys from Cupertino want the plant to start working by February 2014.

While Apple CEO Tim Cook declined to tell ABC News when the factory would begin preparing sapphire glass components, these new documents reveal that Apple plans to take the plant live in February (next month). Interestingly, Apple’s James J. Patton describes the goal of meeting a February go-live timeline as “aggressive.”

This all means that the company from Cupertino will soon start using sapphire in production of screens for iPhones or iPads or for widely-rumored iWatch.
