More on potential Apple "new materials" partners

Yes, the linked video was posted elsewhere on this site, but it bears repeating:

The Register | 'iPhone 6' survives STAB ATTACK. Truly, it is the JESUS Phone
Or, this is just a very naughty boy

Keep in mind that this could have been faked, but lordy it would be cool, especially in this context:

Seeking Alpha | GT Advanced Technologies Update: Latest Supply Chain Check
ZDNet | Canonical: Apple bought up three years of our sapphire screen and proved us right

And then there is the Liquidmetal potential:

AppleInsider | Apple continues exploring Liquidmetal manufacturing methods

Like you, Doren, I agree that Liquidmetal is a longer shot than Sapphire. But it seems inevitable, whether in the iWatch (which I think will be a much bigger deal than you seem to have been imagining) and/or in the iPhone. Its ability to transmit information from body through skin (and contaminants) to device (iWatch!) seems likely to be key.
