Apple may or may not use sapphire for the iPhone 6, that is still to be discovered. But I do not think Apple would spend about 3/4 of a BILLION dollars making a plant that can produce sapphire in HUGE bulk with out seeing it being used in a lot of places.
I understand they have upped the number of furnaces that they are running to 1700 furnaces. :The building is huge, the solar cell farm and alt energy system is big and expensive. So I would guess that they totally know what they are doing. Its just the anal...yst that are totally out of the picture.

Just a thought.
It's par for the course for there to be rumours of Apple not being able to make this or that component for a rumoured date of a rumoured product. Usually these tend to end up being false.
Sure, fast track a sapphire factory with 2500-3000 furnaces to produce sapphire in August'14 to be used in an iPhone a year later. I believe the chance of no sapphire screen on iPhone is less than 1%.

I get that, hence my comment.
