Apple not going bananas

Iphone 8 will not have a super-curved screen after all

One of the most radical parts of the major iPhone 8 redesign has been scrapped.

When the phone was first mooted it was suggested that Apple was moving to a heavily curved OLED display.

Now the Nikkei has revealed that while Apple will add a slight curve to the iPhone 8, it won’t be similar to the ‘Edge’ displays delivered by Samsung Galaxy smartphones in recent years and will provide no additional functionality.

Nikkei staff writer Debby Wu’s sources told her the curve will be gentler than screens in Samsung's Galaxy S7 Edge handsets because Apple could not make the curved glass match the screens.
