Apple is reportedly developing a new iPhone that will carry a larger screen size with curved glass. That's what someone close to this business said.
The source told Bloomberg, Sunday (11/10/2013), two new iPhones, we call it iPhone 6, with a curved screen is planned to be released in the second half of 2014. Apple spokeswoman Natali Kerris declined to comment on this news.
Not yet known for sure the shape of the curved screen that will be made by Apple. The source only said that the next iPhone screen has two different sizes, namely 4.7 inches and 5.5 inches. Also mentioned, there is a pressure detection sensor that can later distinguish heavy or light touches on the screen.
Two of Apple's competitors, namely Samsung and LG, have launched Android-based smartphones with curved screens. Samsung, with Galaxy Round, designed a curved screen on the right and left sides of the screen, while LG with G Flex designed a curved screen on the top and bottom sides of the screen. However, the screen is not flexible so it cannot be folded or rolled up.
Apple currently has the latest iPhone 5S and iPhone 5C products. The phone that targets the premium market segment, the iPhone 5S, has a fingerprint sensor on the home button as a security feature.
This company from Cupertino, California, United States, also plans to provide sapphire material in its products. Last week, Apple said it would open a new factory in the Arizona area, which will partner with GT Advanced Technologies, a company that specializes in making mineral crystal materials.
