Is Apple Developing Curved iPhone Screens?

The smartphone battle between Samsung and Apple may be taking on a curvy twist.

According to news reports, the iPhone maker is working on schemes that include larger screens with curved glass and more.
Bloomberg broke the story, which reports Apple is working on the curved glass, as well as “enhanced sensors that can detect different levels of pressure.” The paper cited an unnamed person familiar with the plans as its source.

That person told Bloomberg there are two models planned that will hit the market during the second half of 2014. Both will reportedly offer larger displays with glass that curves downward at the edges. A separate innovation, sensors, could distinguish between heavy or light touches on the screen and may find a home in later models, Bloomberg reports.

Although it’s new and different, Samsung was not widely celebrated for its innovation as many analysts are still waiting to see the flexible screens the company has promised. That, analysts said, would be head turning. So far, reports of Apple’s anticipated curved screen is drawing similar reactions from some industry watchers.
