samsung-nexus-s-curved-glass

The rumor about a future iPhone having a curved glass display was first pinned on the iPhone 5, but now it is looking like the curved glass display may not make it's debut until the iPhone 6, or whatever Apple decides to call it.

Are you tired of hearing the endless rumors about the possible iPhone 5 launch next week? Then you are in luck since we have a rumor about the iPhone 6 or whatever the generation of iPhone coming out next year will be called. It is said that the iPhone 6 will have a curved glass display, and that Apple has already found the companies to make the glass displays for the iPhone 6 and next-generation iPad.

We first heard the curved glass display rumor in May, but at that time they were centered on the iPhone 5. As other rumors started coming in about every possible detail it seems unlikely that the next iPhone will have a curved display. Current rumors have two different models being announced, one that very closely matches the iPhone 4, and another slim-wedge shaped high end phone.

There are other devices currently on the market with curved displays, so the iPhone 6 screen most likely won’t be something we have never seen before. One example of a phone with a curved display would be Samsung Nexus S which has a “contoured” screen to better fit the users face when making a call.

We are not able to tell at this point in what way Apple may be planning to curve the glass display. It could be a convex or concave style that would look drastically different than the current iPhone 4 model that is about as straight as a phone can get.

It does seem a little early to be reporting on iPhone 6 rumors, but we love our iPhone rumors so it’s never too soon to start warming up the rumormill.

We've been hearing rumors about the iphon5 for the better part of a year now, and before it's even been released, you're already talking about iphone6!? Some people need to get out more and stop with the rumors...
  2. Robert Haston at 4:53am 28th September 2011 How about something that is tangible..... Like how the Motorola Droid Bionic that I'm posting from, far exceeds the iphail5 in every spec, network, and fashion?!? Rumors are just that Digital Trends, how about more coverage on how Android is now King, and apple is only, and will continue to play catch up....
  3. Mike Marra at 6:03pm 27th September 2011 Useless article.
  4. Mike Dunn at 8:02am 27th September 2011 Hopefully the iPhone 5 will be announced next week so we will have a lull in the iPhone rumor department. With Ice Cream Sandwich still a mystery we should have some Android centric stuff coming up!
    1. jesterking at 8:08am 28th September 2011 As long as you don't write about them if their only rumors...
  5. Richard Wills at 11:21am 27th September 2011 another piece of apple junk.
  6. Mellowhype at 8:57pm 26th September 2011 Stick with the flat black like the 4* I should say. THE ANTICIPATION IS SLOWLY KILLING THE TECHNOLOGICAL SIDE OF ME.
  7. Mellowhype at 8:56pm 26th September 2011 Lol oh God. Rumours are STILL rumours about the iPhone 5 and now we have the new 'curved glass' iTheory coming up now for the '6'. I'd just prefer to stick with the iPhone 5 rumours because it's more amusing (because it's closer to reality as we'll know in just about a week and all this uproar is making things more thrilling and exciting for me to be honest).I really just wanna know if the iPhone 5 is going to have a metal chasis backing like the iPod Touch or if they're going to stick with the flat back on the 4 which i LOVE and unfortunately never got to experience :(
  8. Zackery Brown at 2:43am 27th September 2011 I really like how you talk with your readers, major points for that Digital Trends!

  10. Dave Allen at 1:47am 27th September 2011 How about anything digital or techy except the iPhone or phones period for that matter.

  13. Eric Asianman Quach at 1:03am 27th September 2011 ya. these rumours are getting too much. this guy in Thailand was selling an Iphone 8 for god's sake. LOL
  14. Zackery Brown at 12:49am 27th September 2011 You guys need go slow down on iPhone and apple stuff. More of the other. It's great. Just getting over swamped by Apple news/rumours.
  15. BCwrangler at 5:48pm 26th September 2011 I wonder if it will break as easily as their flat glass?
