It was here that Steve Jobs gave the 53-year-old Weeks a seemingly impossible task: Make millions of square feet of ultrathin, ultrastrong glass that didn't yet exist. Oh, and do it in six months. The story of their collaboration—including Jobs' attempt to lecture Weeks on the principles of glass and his insistence that such a feat could be accomplished—is well known." - https://www.wired.com/2012/09/ff-corning-gorilla-glass/

                            I don't think anyone thought glass making for portable devices will become such profitable enterprise.

The article isn't about when Apple started using Corning. As a matter of fact, the article has stated that Apple has been using Corning's glass since the first iteration of their iPhone. Second, Android is an OS, not a phone so there's no way that Android has been using a glass. If you meant Android phones, then your claim that they've been using Corning since the Bronze Age is also wrong. FACTS! Do you even know when the Bronze Age happened?

                                      You are wrong. Sapphire breaks more easily than glass!
                                      It's a harder material so it's more difficult to scratch but also more likely to break.
                                      You are not likely to drop a watch! you are more likely to scratch it hence it makes sense to put sapphire on an apple watch.

                                        thats how crApple works,,,asking for 10.000 is too much for them to pay, they can have it for free, or stealing them and make them theirs so...dont worry with crApple, you dont want their unfair and mudy money.
