iPhone 5 Coming with Curved Glass Screen?

Published

on

Digitimes is reporting that the next incarnation of the iPhone, possibly called the iPhone 5, will be coming with “curved cover glass” for its display. If true, it’s possible that we could see aspects of the Nexus S and the last generation of the iPod nano featured on the next iPhone.

The report cites sources who have stated that Apple has procured 200-300 glass cutting machines that will be used by glass makers in an effort to yield a high volume of displays:

There has been no timetable yet for the volume production of iPhone 5 as Apple is currently still working with related suppliers including those involved in cover glass, glass cutting, lamination and touch sensors to improve yield rates, the sources commented.

Previous reports indicated that production of the iPhone 5 would begin at some point in August with a release at some point in September. There had also been reports that the next incarnation of the iPhone would merely be an iPhone 4 with bumped up hardware and some cosmetic changes.

So, in other words, Digitimes’ report has confirmed that no one has any clue when the iPhone 5 will arrive or what it will look like when it does.

    Though the information about the
    curved glass screen is said to be rumored, the possible advantages for the much
    awaited iphone 5 is that it might be non-conductive and would have smooth
    surface to hold which will have a feature of acquiring perfect reception of the
    signals. However, having glass on the edges might be prone to the clumsy
    mistakes and thus must be handled with most care.
