The iPhone 5 still isn’t announced yet, but we already have an iPhone 6 rumor

By Mike Dunn September 26, 2011

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.
