So Apple basically has two iphone designs they oscillate through every 3 years.
Got a tip for us?

But the glass bezels will be curved, right?
Eh my Samsung Galaxy from work isn’t any more or less slippery than my 12 PM.
Well that’s what the hospital that. It is actually called „Ganglion“. It might have come from something else initially but it always got worse in specific scenarios. I had it for years come and go it it always got worse when I rode my bike for a day (too much pressure on my wrists) or yes being on my phone 24/7. Another thing is playing too much Nintendo Switch. Kills my wrist
Yes I'd like a two-piece design instead of the standard iPhone 4 sandwich.
Apple iPhone 16 rumored to have even Curvier Bezels
Nah need an iPod Touch rear shell design, the 6/6S/7/8/X/XS/11 design made it feel like a soap bar when holding it without a case (slippery) and with a case the most extruded portion of the curved frame added pressure when holding it in the palm and finger/s.
A flat sides with the edges curved a bit like the iPod Touch felt great to hold with and without a case. The screen should stay flat. The curved bezel might be an optical illusion design decision to make it appear thinner, though I feel Apple should either increase the display size while decreasing the bezel or shrink the physical device size so it’s a little more comfortable to hold in one palm. Curved bezels on the display make it horrible to apply screen protectors.
11 Pro was my favorite iPhone design so pleasant to hold, hope that makes a comeback.
The 15 Pro Max could have titanium sides like the Watch Ultra. Better for holding.
Flat 14 Pro Max sides are much better than, for example, rounded iPhone X sides.

Cut the ripoff ********, Apple is not in a position to be the first hardware wise with these type of things. Apple only has a few models and if Apple was first the supply chains could only handle 10% of the total demand. You could also argue that every smartphone is a ripoff of the original iPhone. With similar software, features and looks. (Rectangular sheet of glass with a camera and touch interface)
This is terrific news if true. The flat glass look is so dated. This isn't 1983 after all!
I suspect Apple discontinued the iPod Touch line to use its design language for some version of iPhone. Imagine an iPhone mini with the same design as the iPod Touch. That thing was slim at the cost of battery life but it felt good to hold, solid build, good take a beating because it was slim like a chocolate bar. I just hoped Apple would have used that design someday in an iPhone it was design perfection for its formfactor.
Curved-edge phones are WAY more comfortable to hold IMHO.
Except in futuristic movies a handheld device such as a tablet of phone is portrayed as a no bezel FLAT piece of glass. The curved stuff is used for wearables or in some instances some form of monitor that is not meant to be mobile or handheld.
The curved edges (like what we saw with the iPhone 6 all the way to the iPhone 11) make swiping from the edges far more comfortable.
The previous iPhone X/XS/11 displays had a 2.5D display the curve was on the bezel. I am not aware of Apple having a curved viewable area screen but Samsung and other have. It serves no purpose other than to make it look bezel-less by lighting up pixels that are basically a touch dead zone at the cost of battery life, durability, protection, etc. Waterfall displays should have stayed a concept but Samsung needs a buzz feature.
Maybe if you don’t use a case, most people do use a case and I have been using one for all design types of iPhone and never found swiping an issue. Maybe just maybe you are swiping incorrectly 😝
The pill looks larger than the notch on the 13 and 14 devices. Trim the pill size it’s kinda jarring to look at.
Cool so all those curved displays are such a hit along with 3D. You are not using that device continually for 6-8 hours a day similar to if one was sitting or standing while working. Maybe time to cut back on device usage seems like an unhealthy addiction. Good thing we have curved screen laptops and tablets for ergonomic sake 😜
I don’t use a case, so yeah I’m feeling the smooth glass when I swipe from the side. Better than a sharp edge digging into my finger!
Looks like I’ll be keeping my 14PM for a long time. Dated curved screen like it’s 8 years ago? Cheap feeling titanium frame that scratches super easy? No thanks.
