iPhone 5 may feature curved glass screen, continue iPod nano legacy
By Vlad Savov  posted May 23rd 2011 at 2:27AM

DigiTimes has been canvassing its manufacturing industry sources again, and today it's managed to extract some intel regarding Apple's typically secretive supply chain. Steve Jobs' team are said to have purchased between 200 and 300 glass-cutting machines, specifically in order to use them to slice up curved glass display covers for the iPhone 5. This move has apparently been in an effort to accelerate production, with glass makers reportedly showing a reluctance to buy the machinery themselves due to its prohibitive cost.

Lest you think this sense of urgency might accelerate the iPhone 5 from its earlier-rumored September launch, DigiTimes also reports that yields of curved glass are not yet good enough to start using said fancy machines. So the iPhone may be headed for the same curvacious look as we've already seen on Dell's Venue and HTC's Sensation (or maybe even the concavity of the Nexus S), but as is Apple's wont, it looks like that will be done with a tailor-made, custom solution. At least those Cupertino designers have a couple of generations of curved iPod nano screens under their belt, giving them a good idea of how to handle the atypical glass frontage. Now if we could just have a good idea of when this phone will actually be on sale...

This comes after Apple has reportedly purchased 200-300 glass cutting machines for use by suppliers

But i really hope 5 comes with 1080p video recording and bigger screen, these features already standard in competitor phonea, infact some are with 3D camera.

one thing i like about apple is they're good in distinguishing features that are actually useful vs gimmick features the whole market (and sadly, consumers) get crazy about. all macbooks never had fingerprint scanners or face-recognition webcam etc but instead they have a huge trackpad. so im very sure 3D camera wont be there

screen size...the way i see it, other brands use bigger screens just so they can have one more number in the spec list that is bigger than iphone's. apple dont need to follow the 4" screen trend. im sure if they wanted a 4" screen, the ip4 would have it. but apple just stick to the same physical size while doubling the resolution, my guess is to ensure compatibility with all apps so they wont look 'enlarged'

some apps, games lah mostly, have buttons at sizes the developer deems suitable for the iphone screen. if an iphone has a bigger screen, the developer might make these buttons smaller so it would be less obtrusive. but then if these games are to be played on older iphones, these new buttons would be too small to tap. see the problem?

Doesnt make sense what you explained cause almost all Iphone apps/games can be played on the Ipad with bigger display.

It does make sense, when you use the iPhone apps on iPad, the resolution is different.
That was what he was trying to point out
