Rumors suggest ‘wrap around screen’ for Apple iPhone 7

Apple’s latest iPhone 6s and 6s plus have recently set foot in the market, but the buzz and excitement around the next smartphone in the product line-up, iPhone 7, has been making rounds much before that.

“The rumors for yet to be released iPhone 7 are so rife and all over the web space that most of people are planning to buy it and want to skip the current generation Apple phone completely”, says iphone7update.com.

Apple’s patents already suggest that iPhone 7 could be a real game changer. Also the images of the yet-to-launch iPhone on the web, if true, clearly show that it is something that we have never seen before.

The most striking feature is the screen, a 4.9 inch Full HD Sapphire front display that will also be a wrap around screen. According to PCAdvisor, an Apple’s patent published this year, describes what the iPhone maker calls “sidewalls displays”. This suggests that the display will be extended onto the sides of the device, providing interactive or touch sensitive portions that give access to slide-to-unlock functionality, messaging readout, music player controls, system controls and more.

“It is going to be like holding a smart glass in hand”, says iphone7userguide.com.
