iPhone 6 may feature curved display, all-aluminum Shell [Report]

According to a new report from a Japanese blog Macotakara, Apple’s next generation iPhone will be more different than the previous devices.. The publication said that the handset will feature rounded edges, a curved glass display, and an all-aluminum rear shell.

That’s not all, the blog also says that the next iPhone 6’s display will be slightly curved in order to accommodate the new rounded edges. It even goes so far as to liken the device’s profile to the Japan-made Squair Curvaceous Bumper [above], an aluminum bumper for iPhone…

Macotakara has a fairly solid track record in Apple intel, and many of the details it’s reporting match up with previous chatter—in November, Bloomberg reported that the company was working on two new iPhones with large curved screens for 2014.

Anyway, unless everything we’ve seen thus far has been hokum (quite possible), we’re starting to get an idea of what to expect visually from the iPhone 6: a larger display, thinner profile and more rounded edges. The device is expected to launch as early as September.
