Could This Be The Iphone Redesign We All Have Been Waiting For? by falloh: 1:41pm On Jun 15, 2016
The iphone 7 will be boring, according to alot of people who are simply interested in brand new devices year after year. While we may have reached a
plateau when it comes to designs of rectangular devices that hide tiny impressive computers behind beautiful touchsreen display, but a trusted source has it that Apple might be working on a radical Iphone redesign for next year.


A lot of reports has suggested that at least a version of the 2017 Iphone will have some features like a CURVED OLED DISPLAY and a FINGERPRINT SENSOR embedded in the screen to effectively kill the home button. Recently, a new finding confirms that Apple is actually working on such technology, although it does not say whether it will actually make it to the market.

Discovered by Apple Insider, patent No. 9,367,095 is titled Electronic device with wrap around display. The patent was awarded to Apple, after being filed in April 2015.
The patent features drawings that clearly shows what looks like an iPhone with a wraparound display. Apple patents often describe technology that might never make it into consumer products, and the graphics are only used to prove certain concepts. But this is technology that Apple R&grin has been toying with, so this particular device might see the light of day.
The patent describes a mobile device that would feature a wrap-around curved display covered by a protective glass, clearly identifying the display type as AMOLED. The device would be able to determine how the user is holding the handset before choosing which side of the screen would show content.
AMOLED screens aren’t only flexible, but their pixels light up independently, offering Apple ways of conserving energy while only activating certain pixels for certain tasks.

The device doesn't have a home button, and the volume rockers are embedded in the display – or better still, 3D Touch or other gestures could be used to adjust the volume on such a device. Even unlocking the handset could be done using gestures. “Instead of holding a button a multitouch gesture along one of the sides could instead act as a method of locking and unlocking the hold function,”.
Cameras would be placed on either side of the device, and both would be used to determine whether the user is looking at the screen, and for photo-taking and video-recording purposes.
The obvious advantage of such a display is that it would eliminate the need of bezels, significantly increasing screen real estate without increasing phone size. The image above seems to suggest there’s more screen to take advantage of by including five apps in the dock rather than four.The patent also describes technologies that could be employed to generate a 3D effect by using multiple layers of transparent screens.
