Apple’s partnership with GT Advanced Technologies isn’t a secret anymore, with the latter expected to provide sapphire crystal to Apple for various purposes related to the company’s iPhone, iPad and iWatch production. And now it looks like GT will have two plants growing sapphire glass for Apple. Analyst Matt Margolis, who recently revealed Apple may mass-produce more than 200 million sapphire display covers this year, found a new SEC filing from GT that provides more details about the retrofitting of a second GT location. The company has transformed its Salem, Massachusetts RD facility into a manufacturing factory, which can supply up to 20 million additional sapphire screens each year according to Margolis, on top of the estimated 200 million units mentioned before.
