Increasing Cost of Sapphire Displays May Limit Production of 5 5 Inch iPhone 6

The post notes that a sapphire display might cost 1743 yuan, or $280, which is a significant jump over the $44 estimated for the 4-inch Retina display used in the iPhone 5s, Rumors have suggested that Apple might increase the retail price of the next generation iPhone by $100, and this could be one of the reasons.
These latest reports suggest that the sapphire screen costs around 1743 yuan (or $280), which would raise the final cost of the device to about 8000 yuan (or $1285) – at least in China. At the moment, the 16 GB iPhone 5S costs 5288 yuan in China ($850), whereas the beefier 64 GB variant is retailed at the price of 6888 yuan (or $1106)Earlier report might reinforce this rumor, pointed that supply constraints may force Apple to reserve the sapphire display for premium iPhone models such as the 64GB version of the 5.5-inch iPhone 6.
Apple still buys sapphire from third-party suppliers, but is also starting production of the material in small quantities at its Arizona facility, is expected to produce between 100 and 200 million sapphire displays, enough for an entire line of devices when it reaches full operating capacity. The sapphire production plant is financed by Apple and operated by GT Advanced.

Galaxy Note 2 and Galaxy S4 get Android 5 0 update – TechTastic
The fact that the Samsung Galaxy S4 is eligible for the Android 5.0 Lollipop has been clear for some time, but now it appears that the two year old Galaxy Note 2 also expect the update in 2015. Thanks to the Finnish division of Samsung, we know exactly what devices are going to update the company in 2015 to the Android 5.0 operating system Lolliop. In summary, in addition to the striking Galaxy Note 2 also see some obvious smartphones.
The big surprise on the list is undoubtedly the Galaxy Note 2. This second generation phablet from the Note series was in September 2012 on the market and generally supporting software to Samsung does not go beyond two years or two major updates. Should the information prove to be correct, then we can only applaud this change. In addition to the Note 2 may also Note 3 and Galaxy Note 4 users in 2015 expect the update, but it’s hard to call new information.
In addition, the Galaxy Mini S5 turn yet, while the Galaxy S5 in some countries already have been updated to Android 5.0. The Samsung Galaxy Alpha and Galaxy S4 are also on the list.
When the update for the above Samsung smartphones will be released exactly is still unclear. Normally receive the more expensive and newer devices first update and only then follow the older models, including the Galaxy Note 2 and Galaxy S4.

Asus wants to sell 5 million ZenFones this year ZenFone 6 and ZenFone 5 are available now
The ZenFone 6 costs around $230 (6,990 TWD) in Taiwan, while the ZenFone 5 is priced at $166 (4,990 TWD). Both were launched in Taiwan before being introduced in other markets because this is Asus’ home country. China is probably one of the markets that will get the new smartphones next. According to Focus Taiwan, Asus CFO David Chang “predicted” that 5 million ZenFone handsets would be sold around the world before the end of 2014.
The ZenFone 6 and ZenFone 5 run Android 4.3 Jelly Bean (upgradeable to KitKat), and are powered by dual-core 2GHz Intel Atom Z2580 processors. The former model sports a 6-inch 720p display, while the latter comes with a 5-inch 720p screen. You can check out our Asus ZenFone 6 hands-on here, and our Asus ZenFone 5 hands-on here.
Asus also has a ZenFone 4, which features a 4-inch WVGA display. This is obviously cheaper than the other two ZenFones, and should be available starting this month, too.
