On October 13 (US time), Apple announced "iPhone12".
In Russia, the iPhone was very popular, and when the Russian economy was good, the new iPhone was sold, mainly in a good business person.
Immediately after Steve Jobs died in 2011, a message screen was listed in a skyscraper in Moscow.
However, in light of the fact that Russia still has an Apple store, that is, there is no Apple -managed brand shop (there are regular sales agencies), it seems that Apple himself is not very interested in Russia.
But it didn't mean that Russian technology would not be mounted on the iPhone.
Of course, if the developer of Apple asks, it will be dismissed as ridiculous, but I would like to introduce it as one of the possibilities of the open innovation in Japan and Russia.
There were rumors that sapphire glass would be used on the surface of the display in 2015 to 2016 before the release of the iPhone8 released in 2017.
When you hear sapphire, you tend to imagine natural gems, but sapphires here are made industrially based on aluminum oxide.
It is used in a luxury watch glass (windshield) in a familiar place.This is because the hardness of sapphire is second to diamonds, that is, in everyday life.
If the surface of the smartphone display is sapphire glass, LCD protective film will be useless.
