According to Digitimes Apple is planning to adopt a “curved cover glass” for its next-generation of iPhone (iPhone 5 / iPhone 4S. Steve Jobs’ team are said to have purchased between 200 and 300 glass-cutting machines, specifically in order to use them to slice up curved glass display covers for the iPhone 5.


Cover glass makers are reluctant to commit investment to the purchase of glass cutting equipment due to the high capital involved, said the sources.

There has been no timetable yet for the volume production of iPhone 5 as Apple is currently still working with related suppliers including those involved in cover glass, glass cutting, lamination and touch sensors to improve yield rates, the sources commented.

DigiTimes also reports that yields of curved glass are not yet good enough to start using said fancy machines.


Engadget site said that the iPhone may be headed for the same curvacious look as we’ve already seen on Dell’s Venue and HTC’s Sensation (or maybe even the concavity of the Nexus S), but as is Apple’s wont, it looks like that will be done with a tailor-made, custom solution.

Now we have lot of Good and Evil:
(1) When this phone will actually be on sale…
(2) Version of the next version of iPhone (4s or 5)
(3) Curved glass Screen or not
(4) ……. Plz Share by comment.
