A new report from IHS iSuppli analyst Kevin Wang claims that Apple's 2017 iPhone will feature a dual curve display.

Wang commented on Weibo referencing the Vivo Xplay 5 with its 5.4-inch OLED touch screen that slopes to the sides similar to the S7. He claimed that there will be more manufacturers using this technique including Apple next year.

It's been rumored that Apple is planning a massive upgrade to the iPhone in 2017 with an edge-to-edge display that has no bezels on the top and bottom. Additionally, the front camera, Touch ID, speaker, and other sensors will apparently be embedded into the display.

Earlier this week, Wang claimed that Apple would finally be bumping the base iPhone configuration to 32GB of storage.

And it won't make a difference because it's on a tiny screen and by tiny, I mean a screen to where you can't see a bigger stretched out version of an image that would be necessary to see much on a computer screen for example so that you could see deeper detail which means the pictures will look just about the same in the case of phone images especially by viewing distance. All of this wouldn't matter if out eyes could zoom in on the image.

What would be the benefit of such a display?

It's not confirmed but I thought of the same thing. Unless it makes a huge different with what it could do, I just don't see a point. I like it the way it is, but this may change the way iPhone it supposed to be.

If these things end up being true then it's kind of sad that rumours are already this specific over a year in advance. It feels like this is the amount of rumours that should go with this year's iPhone.
