Apple ar putea lansa terminale iPhone cu ecrane curbate anul viitor

    Compania Apple a implementat in vechile modele ale terminalelor iPod ecrane curbate si ar putea face exact acelasi lucru cu linia de terminale iPhone. Cei de la DigiTimes sustin ca partenerii Apple ar fi primit de la compania din Cupertino noi masini de lustruit sticla care ajuta in procesul de curbare a acesteia. 3 companii partenere ale Apple ar fi implicate in proiectul derulat de catre compania din Cupertino, proiect care ne-ar putea aduce anul viitor terminale iPhone cu ecran curbat si de cenu poate chiar tablete iPad sau iPod Touch-uri.

Curved cover glass may be the next big thing in terms of handheld device designs as both Apple and the non-Apple camp are reportedly gearing up for the releases of products with curved touchscreens in the first half 2012, according to industry sources. Suppliers of the non-Apple camp are working on products with curved cover glass in attempts to gain a competitive edge in the handheld device market dominated by Apple, sources in the glass industry said. But Apple reportedly also has bought glass polishing equipment for its suppliers in preparation for the production of devices fitted with curved cover glass. Lens Technology, Fuji Crystal, G-Tech are said to be major cover glass suppliers of Apple. While Lens and Fuji focus on iPhones, G-Tech supplies mainly for iPad.

     In lunile trecute se zvonea ca Apple ar putea lansa un terminal iPhone 5 cu ecran curbat insa iata ca lucrurile sunt complet diferite, terminalul urmand sa aiba acelasi ecran ca si pana acum. Anul viitor lucrurile ar putea fi totusi difrite daca prototipurile companiei se vor dovedi a fi functionale insa eu unul nu mi-as face mari sperante in ceea ce priveste implementarea unui asemenea ecran in terminale iPhone. Google Nexus S este unul dintre cele mai populare terminale cu ecrane curbate si deocamdata nimeni nu s-a plans de utilitatea sa iar alti producatori de smartphone-uri se gandesc sa utilizeze aceeasi tehnologie in viitoarele creatii.
