New rumor is claiming that the iPhone 5 will feature a curved glass. Similar to the Nexus S or Galaxy Nexus?
Galaxy Nexus is not yet available in the United States, but it looks like the flagship Android Ice Cream Sandwich will face an iPhone rival with bigger display, and possibly with a curved display next year.
Apple’s next smartphone will feature a curved glass which is quite similar to the Galaxy Nexus of Samsung? Well, if the new speculations are to be believed, then it is highly possible that Apple and Google Android’s rivalry will continue, including the debate regarding the “who copied who.”
According to a Telegraph article posted today citing Digitimes, a respectable tech site based in Asia, “industry sources” have confirmed that Apple’s iPhone 5 will feature a curved glass but industry glass makers are reportedly reluctant to manufacture for the computer company due to the high capital needed most likely due to Apple’s “bulk orders.”
The site’s unnamed sources also reportedly outed Apple’s glass machine purchases to achieve its curved-glass goal. Apple reportedly ordered a total of 200-300 glass cutting machines so it looks like Apple is predicting yet another mass production to meet the demand for the next iPhone. It is worth noting that the reports used by the new Telegraph article were posted before the announcement of the iPhone 4S last month so we should take them with a grain of salt.
The report is also claiming that blogs are now speculating about the iPhone 5′s “release date in March” which is the iPad quarter based on previous product cycles of Apple.
Apple’s latest iPhone, the iPhone 4S, was released last month and Apple is claiming that it is the biggest selling iPhone yet. Can the iPhone 5 outsell the iPhone 4S? Well, aside from the curved glass, new rumors citing (still) anonymous sources say the next iPhone is also expected to feature a larger screen. The rumor about the Japanese LCD supplier said the iPhone 5 will feature a 4-inch screen but no word about the resolution of the new touchscreen. The current model features 326 pixels per inch and Apple is calling it “Retina Display” due to crispness of text and clarity of color courtesy of the higher “ppi.”
Apple’s biggest rival, Google Android, is currently selling a smartphone (in Europe and Asia) with large touchscreen and impressive display, the new Samsung Galaxy Nexus with the Google Android Ice Cream Sandwich operating system. According to reports, the Galaxy Nexus features a 4.65-inch Super AMOLED screen with 310 pixels per inch. It is worth noting that the 326 ppi and 310 ppi are very close and it will be hard to see the difference.
Aside from the Galaxy Nexus, the Android family is also expected to welcome a set of new smartphones early next year coming from Samsung, HTC, Motorola and others, and the new smartphones are expected to take advantage of the new Android operating system. Can the Apple iPhone 5 offer an exciting new feature?
