Apple's 2017 iPhone May Feature Dual-Curve OLED Display

Have fun running iOS 10 on 1 GB of RAM, bud. I'll gladly take 256 GB storage, dual cameras, and 3GB's of RAM.
Seems to be the solution for replacing the physical vibration and volume keys with software buttons (always on?) If the display also embeds Touch ID, then we would have a phone with just one hardware button and one port, reduced bottom bezel with probably halved top bezel and I am completely up for that.
Meh. I'd prefer if it had square edges more like iPhone 5/SE than Galaxy Edge.
That's cute, but that's not really how R&D, design, manufacturing, logistics, marketing, and sales really work.
You're just gonna have to live life on the edge...........
I really doubt this rumor is going to become reality. It's an obvious ripoff of the S7 and would cause a firestorm of controversy. If this turns out to be true, I'll just get a Galaxy next time since Samsung would clearly be the industry leader at that point.
However, I think it's more likely Apple will try to pull off the edge to edge display concept--though by 2017 another manufacturer will likely beat them to it.

I don't really see the appeal of the curved display. Just make the display go all the way to the edge, that's all I really care about
I have an iPhone 5s and was super excited about getting an iPhone 7 this year, but all these 2017 iPhones rumors just make me super sad.
Anyone find it weird that Samsung has such a ridiculously similar product naming strategy?
Their flagship phones are S6, S7? Isn't that like the same as Apple's 6S, 7S? and yet Samsung puts their S7 out a year before Apple so they can be in the right? Shameless.

We still don't know what's in store for 2016 (for sure anyway) and already speculating on the 2017 model. This is equivalent an NFL draft analysis...all conjecture and speculation that goes out the window when things get real.
Who's the one starting their photocopiers now, Apple?
If this is true - WHY wait more than a year?! The technology is already there. They loose soo much traction.
I always ask the same question. Since I've never held one such device (like Galaxy S7 Edge), I've yet to find the reason for that.
And please, don't say "Do you see that rainbow shining when the phone rings while resting with its screen down? It's useful!!" ..... #not
I hate holding them. I think its uncomfortable. My buddy got one and was raving about it - "... and it has this special kind of glass". I explained to him that the glass is gorilla glass, everyone uses it thanks to iPhone 1, I don't like Android, and it's uncomfortable to hold.
Apple, once again, stretching and straining to keep up with Samsung.
Personally, I'm so sick of the iPhone and all other smartphones for that matter. It's all window dressing over the bigger issue; no one knows what to do next

Who are you casting as the one without shame here? And, assuming it's the usual, how would you reconcile that with the subject of this thread?
