Apple iPhone 6 gets curvy according to new rumour
The iPhone could come with rounded edges and a curved screen according to reports out today.
While it’s still unclear when exactly Apple will launch the iPhone 6, we are getting a tantalising new rumour about what it may look like when it arrives.Citing "reliable sources", tech blog Mac Otakara has claimed the iPhone 6’s glass will sit flush to the handsets corners. So presumably that means Apple will forego a bezel altogether, as has been suggested in the past.
If true, it would mark a departure from the straight lines that debuted with the iPhone 4 and carried on through to the iPhone 5.
The site compared the look to the Squair Curvaceous Bumper – a case for the iPhone 5S that features a rounded housing (pictured above).
It also said that the Apple will do away with the glass rear and antenna breaks found on the latest models of the iPhone. Replacing them with an all aluminium design.
This report isn’t the first to claim that Apple will introduce a more rounded case in its next iPhone. However, it is one of the only ones that claims it will introduce a curved screen. A la, Samsung Galaxy Round.
Earlier this year, Bloomberg claimed that Apple would introduce the curved screen on its two larger models – the 4.7-inch and the 5.5-inch iPhone 6. Although the latter model is now said to have been delayed till 2015 due to issues with its battery.
The report comes as mock-ups emerged demonstrating the exactly how the 4.7-inch iPhone 6 would compare to some of its biggest rivals.
