Following rumors that the iPhone 6 would feature rounded corners and a curved display, Martin Hajek has updated his renderings to visualize what that might look like.
Would sir like a curved iPhone? Based on the latest leaked information I read on www.iphoneclub.nl I decided to update the MacFan iPhone 6 concept by adding a twist, or rather, a slight curve to the screen edges.
Notably, Hajek says curving the display in this manner can make the device 4mm narrower.
The slight curve to the edge was originally reported by Bloomberg last year; however, the WSJ has refuted the report.

i like the idea of edge to edge screen. in real world practicality, i can imagine the edges are mostly covered by phone bumpers rendering the design useless. but worth trying, with the consideration that the phone will be more prone to damage. which will make you have to use a bumper case which then covers the edge to edge. catch 22...
Nothing but iPod mixed with 5c but metal. Makes this look like a joke. Eliminating the flat edges would ruin the design. The previous one on the battery topic was perfect.
I have zero design background, but in my opinion, if this were to be the iPhone 6 I'd say this thing is ugly a hell. Rounded edges going outwards the phone? No way! That doesn't make the screen to look bigger. But anyways, hopefully Sir Ive and his team will come up with something not drastically different than the iPhone 5S but instead with something more practical.
