iPhone 6 rumor rollup for the week ending Nov. 15

Network World Fortunately for the iOSphere Bloomberg found a person familiar with Apple s plans to spill the beans and provide a week s worth of rumor cud chewing over the iPhone 6 display.

While many iOSpherians are convinced that the iPhone 6 will have a bigger display and a curved display there is Deep Uncertainty about how big or which way the curve will you know curve.

But let s not quibble. This one source in a story written by two reporters was also familiar with Apple s plans to introduce not one but two Bigger Screened iPhone 6 handsets. Thanksgiving Day has come early this year.

You read it here second.

I have absolutely no doubt whatsoever that Apple is investigating curved displays That doesn't mean however that just because Apple looked at something that they're going to release it.

Analyst Debunks Curved Display On iPhone 6 Release Date

Kristin Dian Mariano International Business Times with the iOSpherian translation of Greengart s commonsense observation.

iPhone 6 will have two screen sizes curved glass and maybe pressure sensors

Talk about a cornucopia of Innovation eh This abundance of information overflows from a Bloomberg story Apple Said Developing Curved iPhone Screens New Sensors by Tim Culpan and Adam Satariano.

And where did it come from you ask From a person familiar with the plans. Or as experienced iOSpherians like to say a PFWP.

Maybe they caught Tim Cook or Phil Schiller when he was in a chatty mood in an elevator. Or maybe they talked to the drycleaner of the next door neighbor of the best friend of a coworker who has a cousin who plays online games with an engineer who overheard an Apple designer talking to someone before the subway door closed. But somebody who s not just anybody.

Two models planned for release in the second half of next year would feature larger displays with glass that curves downward at the edges said the person declining to be identified because the details aren t public. Sensors that can distinguish heavy or light touches on the screen may be incorporated into subsequent models the person said.

BGR s Zach Epstein argues in his post on the Bloomberg story that the phrasing with glass that curves downward at the edges is not a reference to a curved displays but rather that the glass covering the panels will be curved. Which doesn t clarify much does he mean the display is flat but it s covered with a convex glass cover Or that the glass cover is flat but it curves down over the edge of the phone

Curved screens both convex and concave have been an obsession with the iOSphere for months even years though with little analysis on how or why curving the screen or the glass actually improves the phone. The obsession has been intensified by Samsung s Galaxy Round smartphone which curves upward from the two sides and the just announced LG G Flex which curves upward from the top and bottom.
