Apple's 2017 iPhone model could feature a curved screen - just like the Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge - Mirror Online
Apple will release an iPhone with a curved organic light-emitting diode (OLED) display, similar to Samsung?s Galaxy S7 Edge model, it has been reported.
The Californian company will launch three models in 2017; one sized at 4.7-inches and two measuring 5.5-inches - one of which will sport a display which curves down over its sides, according to the Nikkei Asian Review .
The other two devices will have regular flat screens like past iPhone models, the source added.
This is not the first time a curved iPhone has been rumoured. Artist Martin Hajek created these concept images ahead of the iPhone 6 launch, based on similar rumours at the time.
Apple recently sold its one billionth iPhone, but has struggled in recent months as the company?s iPhone sales - which account for around two-thirds of the company?s overall sales - have fallen.
In July it announced sales of its smartphone were down 15% during its third financial quarter, and forecast they would fall again during the fourth.
