Apple iPhone 6 to release with sapphire glass solar power panel this year

The latest report suggests Apple will use sapphire glass for the iPhone 6 to function also as solar charging panel for the device.
 

In February 2013, Apple filed a patent for an integrated touch sensor and solar assembly. The patent reads:
Integrated touch sensor and solar panel configurations that may be used on portable devices, particularly handheld portable devices such as a media player or phone are disclosed. The integrated touch sensor array and solar cell stack-ups may include electrodes that are used both for collecting solar energy and for sensing on a touch sensor array. By integrating both the touch sensors and the solar cell layers into the same stack-up, surface area on the portable device may be conserved. In addition to being used for capacitive sensing, the integrated touch sensor and solar panel configurations may also be used for optical sensing.
