Will the iPhone 4S Feature a Curved Display?

It seems that Apple has ordered for a few glass-cutting machines, maybe to shape their displays.

Don’t be too surprised if you see some more incoming Apple rumours incoming. Quite simply with their World Wide Developers’ Conference (WWDC) inching closer, it only makes sense that these rumours start making random (and sometimes predictable) appearances.

The latest is that Apple might think up of a new curved display for their latest iteration of the iPhone aka the iPhone 4S. It seems that since many manufacturers are shying away from purchasing high-priced glass cutting machines, Apple wants to speed up manufacturing and is buying somewhere around 200-300 glass-cutting machines. The only logical conclusion that one can make from this is that the Cupertino-based company is doing something behind the scenes which involves some important glass processing. And what better can be presumed other than display screens?

There’s nothing being said about the mass production of the iPhone 4S as Apple is still working with retailers especially those dealing with cover glass, glass cutting, lamination and touch sensors. Anyway, you can catch more news on the iPhone 4S over here.
