iPhone 5 To Have Curved Screen?

**wolverinemarky** · 05-23-2011, 02:22 PM

if its curved to the extent of the mock ups no way will i want to buy and use that. A slight curve maybe but i would prefer the way it is now

This is begenning to remind me of ELEVATOR...

So how do you suppose gaming on the iPhone and touch will be effected? I'm doubtful they will do this. Sliding finger in a bowl instead of a flat surface to draw.

I think the curve is kinda cool

Agreed. The... erm... "unique" mock-up isn't helping things either.

I just can't see Apple going curved display glass--it'll almost certainly mess with their "anorexia" they try to embody in their designs--thinner in one place means thicker elsewhere.

EDIT: Sure, Apple's uses curved convex backs a lot, but not on the front display. Nor can I remember Apple using a concave design on their touch-based stuff.

Yeah so do anti-glare screen protectors. And they don't make the phone look retarded.

This is really weird, Apple better not go through with this stupid idea

I sure hope it don't look like the mock-up pics....

skip

I think a curved screen would be a nice change and a curved body as well. the iphone body is kinda boring now it needs a update.

Not 100%, have read both and not sure what to believe until it drops I guess.

I'll pass, I like laying my phone flat on my desk. Doesn't wobble like most phones do.

**thetoothfairy** · 05-23-2011, 05:46 PM

Not for me.... don't care for it

**RICO_** · 05-23-2011, 05:46 PM

Funny. Theyre saying curved screens help with glare, but I still see plenty of glare on those phones in that pic.

**blkcadi** · 05-23-2011, 05:49 PM

I actually like the curve, I'd buy it for sure.

**Ymarcus** · 05-23-2011, 06:14 PM

I don't really want a curved screen. It's cool, but doesn't really sound like Apple.

No matter if they call it the iPhone 4s or the iPhone 5 it's still the iPhone 5 because it's the fifth generation iPhone.

I see people putting this in their pocket, then bumping into a counter or something and cracking it in half.
