iPhone6s-Hand-SafariQuickAction-PR-PRINTOne might argue that some of the ideas that Apple has introduced to its products aren’t exactly original. For example many believe that the newer iterations of iOS have borrowed heavily from Android, or how fingerprint scanners on phones were actually introduced by Motorola many years ago, and so on.

However despite that, Apple has never really come across as a company that reacts to what others are doing, but that could change next year when Apple could be introducing curved displays to its iPhone, a rumor which some of you guys might have heard about recently. In fact according to a recent report from DigiTimes (via Cult of Mac), Apple’s suppliers are already gearing up for production.

The report claims that a company in particular called Mirle Automation has been working on technology that will be able to replicate the curved glass chassis seen on similar devices like the Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge and Note 7. The company has also reportedly received orders from Apple’s manufacturing partners such as Foxconn and Lens for said equipment so that when the time comes, they will be able to create those curved displays for 2017’s iPhone.

Assuming the rumors are true, next year’s iPhone is set to become the biggest change Apple has made to its iPhone lineup in a while. We are talking about OLED screens, curved displays, and even iris scanning technology. Safe to say that you probably should take all of this with huge doses of salt for now, but if you think you can wait one more year, then maybe holding off on this year’s iPhone might not be such a bad idea.
